AI-suggested

Upgrade pretalx to version 2026.1.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause by properly handling user input in the organiser search feature.

Description

CVE-2026-41241 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pretalx, a conference planning tool. Before version 2026.1.0, the organiser search feature in the backend improperly rendered user-controllable fields such as submission titles, speaker display names, and user names/emails using innerHTML interpolation. This allowed any user controlling these fields to inject HTML or JavaScript that would execute in an organiser's browser when matched in a search query. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2026.1.0.
