An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-73531 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: django-helpdesk. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73531/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73531/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-73531","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73531/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-73531","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-67qv-r9gc-cpwj","GHSA-q46c-8w98-fq2g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Django helpdesk plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject JavaScript via HTML attachments in django-helpdesk, leading to script execution in staff browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"django-helpdesk before 2.3.3 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript by submitting HTML-formatted email messages or uploading .html/.htm file attachments through public ticket submission channels.
