Stored XSS via unescaped image captions
Published Jun 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in Stackable 3.13.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through an image caption. The frontend image-lightbox code handles the data-caption value without sufficient input sanitization or output escaping, allowing the stored caption to become executable markup. Contributor-level access is required, and the injected script executes whenever a visitor opens the affected page.
