CVE-2026-45343

Status: DeferredHigh (8.5)—

LinkAce is a self-hosted archive to collect website links. Prior to 2.5.6, LinkAce contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows a low-privilege user to execute arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator's browser session. This affects instances configured with SSO/OAuth authentication, which is one of the supported authentication methods in LinkAce. An attacker who sets their OAuth display name to a malicious script and then creates an API token will plant a persistent XSS payload in the audit log.

Read full descriptionShow less

When any admin navigates to /system/audit, the payload executes in the admin's browser context. This enables session cookie theft, CSRF token exfiltration (exposed in the la-app-data meta tag), or any other action the admin can perform. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.6.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

Anteriormente a la 2.5.6, LinkAce contiene una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting almacenado que permite a un usuario con bajos privilegios ejecutar JavaScript arbitrario en la sesión del navegador de un administrador. Esto afecta a las instancias configuradas con autenticación SSO/OAuth, que es uno de los métodos de autenticación soportados en LinkAce. Un atacante que establece su nombre de visualización de OAuth a un script malicioso y luego crea un token de API plantará una carga útil de XSS persistente en el registro de auditoría. Cuando cualquier administrador navega a /system/audit, la carga útil se ejecuta en el contexto del navegador del administrador. Esto permite el robo de la cookie de sesión, la exfiltración de tokens CSRF (expuesto en la metaetiqueta la-app-data) o cualquier otra acción que el administrador pueda realizar. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 2.5.6."
