Stored XSS via template HTML sanitizer bypass

Published Oct 15, 2026 · Updated Oct 15, 2026

Stored XSS in EspoCRM before 9.3.9 allows remote authenticated users to run JavaScript through crafted template HTML. The moderateSanitizeHtml() client-side sanitizer fails to remove executable content from Email Template or PDF Template HTML rendered in edit mode. Exploitation requires template-edit permission, another user opening the template for editing, and clientCspDisabled set to true rather than its default, exposing the victim's session.
