Stored XSS via unescaped Space names
Published Jul 7, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Cross-site scripting in HumHub before 1.11.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in browsers via crafted Space names. Space-name rendering inserts administrator-controlled names into HTML confirmation and membership views without Html::encode escaping, storing payloads for later visitors. Exploitation requires permission to administer Spaces and a user to visit the affected Space; the documented impact is script execution in that user's browser.
