CVE-2026-41147
CWE-79Published: May 22, 2026· Updated: May 26, 2026
Official Description
NukeViet CMS is a multi Content Management System. Versions 4.5.07 and prior contain a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability caused by insufficient server-side input sanitization in the Request class. The application relies primarily on client-side filtering to sanitize HTML tags and attributes in user-submitted content, which can be bypassed by intercepting and modifying HTTP requests directly (e.g., using Burp Suite). An attacker can inject malicious payloads which are stored server-side and executed in the browser of any user who views the content. Anyone viewing user-submitted content (such as administrators and moderators reviewing contact messages or comments) is impacted, and the vulnerability can be exploited by any anonymous visitor without authentication, with the Contact module used only as a proof of concept. Potential consequences include session hijacking through cookie theft, unauthorized actions performed under the victim's identity, defacement or redirection to phishing pages, and phishing attacks via manipulated email notifications. This issue has been fixed in version 4.5.08. If developers are unable to upgrade immediately, they should work around this issue by implementing server-side HTML sanitization in the Request class to strip or encode dangerous tags and attributes (e.g., <iframe>, srcdoc, event handlers like onerror/onload), enforcing a Content Security Policy (CSP) to restrict inline script execution, and set cookies with the HttpOnly flag to mitigate cookie theft via XSS.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-41147 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.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 8.7.
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.
