CVE-2026-19744 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.1/10 on the CVSS scale. Cross-site Scripting in the Markdown renderer in maalfer Pentestify before 2.3.2 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the application origin via a Markdown link whose URL contains a double quote, which closes the anchor's href attribute because the renderer's sanitization step does not escape quotes. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
