Description

CVE-2026-44977 is a critical cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Countly countly-server product analytics solution. The flaw exists in the star-rating plugin's API and frontend components prior to versions 24.05.50 and 25.03.44. It allows a non-global application administrator to upload attacker-controlled active content with a trusted MIME type, which is then served with the attacker-influenced Content-Type. When a global administrator previews this content, the malicious payload executes in the Countly origin, exposing authenticated session tokens including auth_token and csrf_token. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.0 and is fixed in the specified versions.
