CVE-2026-39400: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jhuckaby Cronicle
CVE-2026-39400 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in jhuckaby Cronicle versions prior to 0. 9. 111. It allows a non-admin user with create_events and run_events privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript through various job output fields. The injected script is stored without sanitization and rendered unsafely on the Job Details page. This vulnerability has a medium severity score of 5. 3 and is fixed in version 0. 9. 111.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Cronicle, a multi-server task scheduler with a web UI, prior to version 0.9.111, improperly neutralizes input during web page generation. Specifically, non-admin users with certain privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript into job output fields such as html.content, html.title, table.header, table.rows, and table.caption. The server stores this data without sanitization, and the client renders it using innerHTML on the Job Details page, leading to a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79). The issue is resolved in version 0.9.111.
Potential Impact
An attacker with create_events and run_events privileges can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser when viewing the Job Details page. This could lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or other client-side impacts typical of XSS vulnerabilities. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and limited privileges required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Cronicle to version 0.9.111 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the vendor advisory confirms the fix in 0.9.111, applying this official update fully mitigates the issue. No additional mitigations are indicated.
