CVE-2026-54181Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Stored XSS via inverted color-column escaping

Published Sep 14, 2026 · Updated Sep 14, 2026

Stored XSS in Backpack CRUD 6.0.0 through 6.8.13 and 7.0.0 through 7.0.37 allows remote authenticated users to execute browser scripts. The color-column Blade template treats the default escaped setting as raw output and inserts stored column text without HTML escaping. Exploitation requires control of an unsanitized color value and a victim viewing the CRUD list, exposing that victim's session-backed application capabilities.
