Browser script execution via unescaped category titles
Published Jan 16, 2026 · Updated Jan 16, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in SCHLIX CMS 2.2.6-6 allows remote authenticated users to run scripts in other users' browsers. The contact-category save handler accepts the multipart title field without effective output neutralization and later inserts it into breadcrumb link text as executable markup. An account able to create contact categories is required, and the payload runs when another user views the created category page.
