Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Plone's URL checking infrastructure includes a method for checking if URLs valid and located in the Plone site. By passing HTML into a specially crafted url containing <script, %3Cscript, javascript:, or javascript%3A, Cross-site Scripting can be achieved.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2015-7316

Advisory: Plone Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2015-7316, GHSA-vf8g-m3vq-6p4p
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2015-7316 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:22 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: plone 4.3.7, 4.2.8, 4.1.7, 4.0.11, 3.3.7. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI plone: affected >= 5.0rc1, <= 5.0rc1; >= 3.3, <= 3.3.6; >= 4.0, <= 4.0.10; >= 4.1, <= 4.1.6; >= 4.2, <= 4.2.7; >= 4.3, < 4.3.7; fixed in 3.3.7, 4.2.8, 4.0.11, 4.3.7, 4.1.7

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show plone`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on plone.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
