CVE-2026-81898

HIGH CVSS 4.0: 7.5
Updated Sep 15, 2026
PHP
Parameter Value
CVSS 7.5 (HIGH)
Type CWE-79 (Cross-Site Scripting (XSS))
Vendor PHP
Public PoC No

In Concrete CMS below version 9.5.3, the Address attribute's country-less text formatter skipped HTML-escaping, enabling stored XSS in Express association views. A user able to submit an Address attribute could execute script in the session of any dashboard user who opened the affected entry. The unescaped branch was reachable because a non-required Address attribute accepted a blank country, and because several Express association templates (for example concrete/elements/express/form/view/dashboard/association.php) echoed the association label mask without applying h().

The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4.0 score of 7.5 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Yonatan Drori from Tenzai for reporting.
