Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-27365 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PublishPress Series affecting versions up to and including 2.17.0. The issue arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, which could allow an attacker with high privileges to inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view the affected pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, user interaction required, and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Potential Impact

An attacker with high privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject stored malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users, potentially leading to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
