Unauthenticated browser script execution via reflected XSS
Published Aug 13, 2026 · Updated Aug 13, 2026
Reflected XSS in Echo Knowledge Base 17.211.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script in a victim's browser. Public advisories identify the flaw only as reflected XSS; neither Patchstack nor the vendor changelog names the affected endpoint, parameter, or escaping failure. No authentication is required, but exploitation requires a user to open a crafted link or page; the script runs in the affected site's browser context.
