CVE-2026-40457Network attack vector

Browser script execution via unescaped GET parameters

Published Jun 18, 2026 · Updated Jun 18, 2026

Reflected XSS in LMS before commit 9c5651b allows remote attackers to run JavaScript in an authenticated user's browser via a crafted link. The dbrecover.php confirmation link inserts the db GET value into an href without HTML encoding, while netremap.php does the same with id and mapto. Exploitation requires the victim to be authenticated and click the link, and netremap.php additionally requires a network to be defined.
