CVE-2026-33403 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. Pi-hole Admin Interface is a web interface for managing Pi-hole, a network-level ad and internet tracker blocking application. From 6.0 to before 6.5, a reflected DOM-based XSS vulnerability in taillog.js allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary HTML into the Pi-hole admin interface by crafting a malicious URL. EPSS estimates a 0.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

Pi-hole Admin Interface is a web interface for managing Pi-hole, a network-level ad and internet tracker blocking application. From 6.0 to before 6.5, a reflected DOM-based XSS vulnerability in taillog.js allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary HTML into the Pi-hole admin interface by crafting a malicious URL. The file query parameter is interpolated into an innerHTML assignment without escaping. Because the Content-Security-Policy is missing the form-action directive, injected <form> elements can exfiltrate credentials to an external origin. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.5.
