CVE-2026-75526
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
django CMS is an easy-to-use and developer-friendly enterprise content management system powered by Django. From 5.0.8 until 5.0.9, ContentRenderer.render_placeholder in cms/plugin_rendering.py can pass stored, attacker-controlled values to ContentRenderer.render_exception when plugin rendering fails in edit mode. Values from get_short_description(), the exception message, the placeholder, or placeholder.source are interpolated into a cms-rendering-exception heading and later returned through mark_safe. Because the heading is not escaped, stored HTML executes in an editor’s browser, and settings.DEBUG does not prevent the custom heading from rendering. The fix uses format_html to escape the message before safe placeholder output is returned. This issue is fixed in versions 5.0.9.

"value": "django CMS es un sistema de gestión de contenido empresarial fácil de usar y amigable para desarrolladores, impulsado por Django. Desde la versión 5.0.8 hasta la 5.0.9, ContentRenderer.render_placeholder en cms/plugin_rendering.py puede pasar valores almacenados y controlados por el atacante a ContentRenderer.render_exception cuando la renderización del plugin falla en modo de edición. Los valores de get_short_description(), el mensaje de excepción, el marcador de posición (placeholder) o placeholder.source se interpolan en un encabezado cms-rendering-exception y luego se devuelven a través de mark_safe. Debido a que el encabezado no se escapa, el HTML almacenado se ejecuta en el navegador de un editor, y settings.DEBUG no evita que el encabezado personalizado se renderice. La solución utiliza format_html para escapar el mensaje antes de que se devuelva la salida segura del marcador de posición (placeholder). Este problema se corrige en la versión 5.0.9."
