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.
