Leantime allows Refelected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

GHSA-52xf-h226-pfgx

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (leantime/leantime 3.3), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary The vulnerability in Leantime's "overdue" section allows attackers to upload malicious image files containing XSS payloads. When other users view these files, the scripts execute, enabling attackers to steal sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions. Improving input validation and output encoding in the file upload process can prevent this exploit. Accessing and enhancing the relevant source code modules is crucial for addressing this security flaw effectively. Impact This XSS vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the Leantime application, compromising user data, session tokens, and potentially executing unauthorized actions on behalf of users. Exploitation could lead to account takeover, data theft, and unauthorized access to sensitive information, posing a significant risk to user privacy, data integrity, and system security.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-52xf-h226-pfgx

Advisory: Leantime allows Refelected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
IDs: GHSA-52xf-h226-pfgx
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-52xf-h226-pfgx (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:29 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: leantime/leantime 3.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist leantime/leantime: affected < 3.3; fixed in 3.3

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

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on leantime/leantime.
- 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.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-52xf-h226-pfgx (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-52xf-h226-pfgx lists affected ranges: Packagist leantime/leantime >=0 <3.3)
