CVE-2026-35534: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in ChurchCRM CRM
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in ChurchCRM versions prior to 7. 1. 0 in the PersonView. php component. The issue arises because the sanitizeText() function improperly sanitizes input for HTML attribute context, failing to escape quote characters. An authenticated user with the EditRecords role can inject malicious JavaScript into the Facebook field of a person's profile. This malicious script executes when any user views the affected profile page, potentially allowing session hijacking and account takeover. The vulnerability is fixed in ChurchCRM version 7. 1. 0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
ChurchCRM before version 7.1.0 contains a stored XSS vulnerability in PersonView.php due to improper sanitization by sanitizeText(), which only strips HTML tags but does not escape quotes in HTML attributes. This allows an attacker with EditRecords privileges to inject JavaScript payloads into the Facebook field of a person's profile. When other users, including administrators, view the profile, the injected script executes, enabling session hijacking and full account takeover. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.6 (High) and is resolved in version 7.1.0.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with limited authenticated privileges to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the affected profile page. This can lead to session hijacking and full account takeover of those users, including administrators. The vulnerability does not affect availability but compromises confidentiality and integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability is fixed in ChurchCRM version 7.1.0. Users should upgrade to version 7.1.0 or later to remediate the issue. Since the vendor advisory indicates the fix is available in 7.1.0, applying this official update is the recommended mitigation.
