CVE-2025-68401Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Account takeover via unescaped stored menu name

Published Dec 17, 2025 · Updated Dec 17, 2025

Stored cross-site scripting in ChurchCRM before 6.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in other users' browsers. The application persists the Name parameter during menu creation and later renders it without context-appropriate encoding or sufficient sanitization. High-privilege access is required to plant the payload, and a victim must view the affected menu; the script can act in the victim's session or steal a non-HttpOnly session cookie.
