CVE-2026-48559: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in epoupon lms
Lightweight Music Server (LMS) though 3.76.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript by embedding malicious HTML in media file metadata tags such as GENRE, ARTIST, or ALBUM. Attackers can introduce a crafted media file into the victim's library, causing the payload to be saved during library scanning and executed automatically in the web interface due to tag content being rendered using Wt::TextFormat::UnsafeXHTML without sanitization in src/lms/ui/Utils.cpp.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-48559 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in epoupon's Lightweight Music Server (LMS) up to version 3.76.0. The vulnerability arises because the application uses Wt::TextFormat::UnsafeXHTML to render media file metadata tags (e.g., GENRE, ARTIST, ALBUM) without proper sanitization. An attacker can craft a media file with malicious HTML embedded in these tags, which, when imported into the victim's library, results in the payload being stored and executed in the LMS web interface. This can lead to arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of the LMS web UI.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with the ability to add media files to the LMS library to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the LMS web interface. This can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions within the LMS UI, or other client-side attacks. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, indicating a medium severity vulnerability with network attack vector, low complexity, and requiring low privileges and user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation has been confirmed as of the published date. Users should check the vendor advisory for updates. Until a fix is available, avoid importing untrusted media files into the LMS library. Consider restricting user permissions to prevent unauthorized media file additions. Monitor vendor communications for any forthcoming patches or official mitigations.
