GCHQ CyberChef before 11.0.0 allows XSS via Show Base64 offsets, as demonstrated by the /#recipe=Show_Base64_offsets('%3Cscript substring.
CVE-2026-42615
This high-severity CVE scores 7.2 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 78% 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).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
