## What is CVE-2026-34725?

CVE-2026-34725 is a high-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in dbgate, published on 2 Apr 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

DbGate is cross-platform database manager. From version 7.0.0 to before version 7.1.5, a stored XSS vulnerability exists in DbGate because attacker-controlled SVG icon strings are rendered as raw HTML without sanitization. In the web UI this allows script execution in another user's browser; in the Electron desktop app this can escalate to local code execution because Electron is configured with nodeIntegration: true and contextIsolation: false. This issue has been patched in version 7.1.5.

Weakness: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code), CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation)

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- dbgate-web (npm): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.1.5
- dbgate-web (npm): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.1.5

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
