Shaarli is a personal bookmarking service. Versions prior to 0.16.3 are vulnerable to stored XSS in application/front/controller/visitor/BookmarkListController.php. The permalink handler concatenates the raw $bookmark->getTitle() into the pagetitle template variable and the RainTPL template emits it into the document ` element without HTML escaping. A bookmark title containing ... closes the document title early and the injected script executes in the Shaarli origin for any visitor of /shaare/{hash}. Shaarli's metadata fetcher copies a remote page's ` text verbatim into the local bookmark title, so an attacker who hosts an attacker-controlled URL and convinces an administrator to bookmark it plants the payload with no further interaction — and the resulting permalink fires for every visitor including the administrator on first save, providing a one-shot administrator account takeover. Version 0.16.3 fixes the issue.
CVE-2026-50190
This high-severity CVE scores 8.6 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 83% 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.
