CVE-2022-41611Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unneutralized navigation menu HTML

Published Nov 15, 2022 · Updated Apr 29, 2025

Cross-site scripting in BlueSpice 4 before 4.2.1 allows remote authenticated users with admin rights to inject HTML into main navigation. The BlueSpiceDiscovery menu editor stores administrator-supplied menu-item markup and renders it in shared navigation without neutralizing active HTML. Administrative menu-editing access is required; the stored payload is delivered through affected navigation and exposes data in a viewer's browser context.
