# CVE-2026-34557: CI4MS: Permissions Management Full Account Takeover for All-Roles & Privilege-Escalation via Stored DOM XSS > Attackers can inject malicious scripts into role management fields, leading to stored XSS that enables full account takeover and privilege escalation for administrators. - **Severity:** Critical 9.1 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Any signed-in user - **Attackable:** Over the internet - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 30 Mar 2026 - **Updated:** 31 Mar 2026 - **Also known as:** GHSA-rpjr-985c-qhvm ## What is CVE-2026-34557? CVE-2026-34557 is a critical cross-site scripting vulnerability in ci4-cms-erp ci4ms, published on 30 Mar 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, the application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input within group and role management functionality. Multiple input fields (three distinct group-related fields) can be injected with malicious JavaScript payloads, which are then stored server-side. These stored payloads are later rendered unsafely within privileged administrative views without proper output encoding, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) within the role and permission management context. This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0. Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) ## Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-34557? 2 open source packages ship an affected version, including ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms.
