Mercator is an open source web application designed to enable mapping of information systems. A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Mercator prior to version 2026.02.22 due to the use of unescaped Blade directives ({!! !!}) in display templates. An authenticated user with the User role can inject arbitrary JavaScript payloads into fields such as "contact point" when creating or editing entities. The payload is then executed in the browser of any user who views the affected page, including administrators. Version 2026.02.22 fixes the vulnerability.

EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.4 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). 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).
