CVE-2025-61597
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Emlog is an open source website building system. In versions 2.5.21 and below, an HTML template injection allows stored cross‑site scripting (XSS) via the mail template settings. Once a malicious payload is saved, any subsequent visit to the settings page in an authenticated admin context will execute attacker‑controlled JavaScript, enabling session/token theft and full admin account takeover. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.22.

"value": "Emlog es un sistema de creación de sitios web de código abierto. En las versiones 2.5.21 e inferiores, una inyección de plantilla HTML permite XSS almacenado a través de la configuración de la plantilla de correo. Una vez que se guarda una carga útil maliciosa, cualquier visita posterior a la página de configuración en un contexto de administrador autenticado ejecutará JavaScript controlado por el atacante, lo que permite el robo de sesión/token y la toma de control total de la cuenta de administrador. Este problema se solucionó en la versión 2.5.22."
