CVE-2025-69848Network attack vector

Privileged-browser script execution via unescaped error messages

Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026

Reflected XSS in NetBox 2.11.0 through 3.7.8 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in a privileged user's browser. ProtectedError handling inserts attacker-controlled object representations into HTML error messages after their fields are marked safe, bypassing output escaping. A low-privileged account must create the malicious name, and a privileged user must trigger a deletion blocked by a protected relationship; the script then acts with that browser session's access.
