Cross-site Scripting in the Markdown renderer in maalfer Pentestify before 2.3.2 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the application origin via a Markdown link whose URL contains a double quote, which closes the anchor's href attribute because the renderer's sanitization step does not escape quotes
CVE-2026-19744
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.1 under the CNA's CVSS (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4%, top 71% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
