CVE-2026-81894
Last modified
CVE-2026-81894 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. Concrete CMS 9.5.2 and below is vulnerable to stored DOM-based Cross-site Scripting (XSS) via the Gallery block's per-image Caption field because the bundled Magnific Popup lightbox script (concrete/js/features/imagery/frontend.js) re-parses the attribute-decoded caption as HTML through jQuery's .append() in titleSrc instead of inserting it as text. A user with permission to edit a page containing a Gallery block can store a caption that executes in the browser of any visitor who opens that image's lightbox. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
