CVE-2026-73319 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the dynamic redirect handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the board origin by crafting a malicious javascript: URI that bypasses host validation. Attackers can embed the board hostname in the URI authority component and use percent-encoded newlines to evade server-side filters, causing authenticated users who perform a Follow action to execute attacker-supplied JavaScript in their browser.. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
