CVE-2026-7011: Cross Site Scripting in MaxSite CMS
A weakness has been identified in MaxSite CMS up to 109.3. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /admin/plugin_antispam of the component Antispam Plugin. Executing a manipulation of the argument f_logging_file can lead to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 109.4 addresses this issue. This patch is called 8a3946bd0a54bfb72a4d57179fcd253f2c550cd7. Upgrading the affected component is advised. The vendor was informed early about this issue. They classify it as a "Self-XSS". They deployed a countermeasure: "Nevertheless, we consider this a violation of secure coding standards. The lack of filtering via `htmlspecialchars()` has already been fixed in the latest patch to prevent incorrect data display."
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects MaxSite CMS versions 109.0 through 109.3 in the Antispam Plugin component. It involves a cross-site scripting flaw due to lack of proper output encoding on the f_logging_file argument in the /admin/plugin_antispam file. An attacker can remotely manipulate this argument to execute script code in the context of the affected site. The vendor addressed the issue in version 109.4 by applying htmlspecialchars() filtering to sanitize the input and prevent script injection. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) and CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected web application, potentially leading to user interface manipulation or session hijacking. However, the vendor classifies this as a Self-XSS, indicating that exploitation requires user interaction with their own input, which limits the risk. There are no known exploits in the wild, and the CVSS score is medium (4.8).
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade MaxSite CMS to version 109.4 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by applying htmlspecialchars() filtering to the affected parameter. The vendor has deployed this official fix, so upgrading is the recommended remediation. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.
