An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-8078 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Checkmk Checkmk. 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-2026-8078/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8078/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8078","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8078/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8078","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c2x3-wx4h-g26v","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-8078"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Checkmk monitoring","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Administrators can inject malicious scripts into the global settings change log, which execute in other users' browsers when viewing audit logs.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Checkmk","cpe":[{"product":"checkmk","vendor":"checkmk"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Stored cross-site scripting in the global settings change log in Checkmk \u003c2.5.0p5, \u003c2.4.0p31, \u003c2.3.0p48, and all 2.2.0 versions allows an administrator who can change global settings to store malicious HTML or JavaScript in changelog messages that executes in other users' browsers when they view the Activate Changes page or Audit log.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Fix stored XSS in global settings change log","id":"CVE-2026-8078","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"checkmk:checkmk","products":["checkmk:checkmk"],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Unintended limited set of actions with elevated privileges may be performed during PDF generation in Progress Flowmon","id":"CVE-2026-8079"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak credentials vulnerability in the CashDro 3 web administration panel","id":"CVE-2026-8077"},"products":["Checkmk"],"published":"2026-06-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"omd: Local privilege escalation when executing omd commands as root","id":"CVE-2025-39666","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-07"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Fix 2FA bypass via RestAPI","id":"CVE-2024-8606","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-23"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"PHP code injection in watolib","id":"CVE-2022-46836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation in Windows License plugin for Checkmk Windows Agent","id":"CVE-2025-32919","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows agent","id":"CVE-2024-28827","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"1-Click compromize via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-28828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Unrestricted upload and download paths in check_sftp","id":"CVE-2024-28826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-08","vendors":["Checkmk GmbH"]},"summary":"Administrators can inject malicious scripts into the global settings change log, which execute in other users' browsers when viewing audit logs.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8078/"}
