CVE-2026-31953
CWE-79Published: April 24, 2026· Updated: Apr 27, 2026
Official Description
Xibo is an open source digital signage platform with a web content management system and Windows display player software. A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions prior to 4.4.1 allows an authenticated user with notification creation permissions to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the notification body. When the notification is set as an "interrupt," the payload executes automatically in the browser of any targeted user upon login, requiring zero user interaction. Exploitation of the vulnerability is possible on behalf of an authorized user who has both of the following privileges, which are not granted to non-admins as standard: Access to the Notification Centre to view past notifications, and include "Add Notification" button to allow for the creation of new notifications. Users should upgrade to version 4.4.1 which fixes this issue. Upgrading to a fixed version is necessary to remediate. Users unable to upgrade should revoke such privileges from users they do not trust.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-31953 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
