Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. A folder title (pfftitle) is imported with the 'TXT' filter, which does not strip or encode HTML (the tag check in cotimport is disabled), so an authenticated user can store HTML/JavaScript in a folder title. In modules/pfs/inc/pfs.main.php the title is assigned to the template variable PFFROWTITLE without htmlspecialchars(), and modules/pfs/tpl/pfs.tpl outputs {PFFROWTITLE} unescaped. When the folder listing is viewed (including by other users for public folders), the injected script executes in the victim's browser.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-55746

Advisory: Cotonti: Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module
IDs: CVE-2026-55746, GHSA-86hp-hf3j-3m8r
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-55746 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:49 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.0)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist cotonti/cotonti: affected <= 1.0.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist cotonti/cotonti: check the installed version with your package manager.

## 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 cotonti/cotonti.
- 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.
