LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains an authenticated reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the HTML editor popup endpoint. The text and name query parameters are passed through a blacklist sanitizer and then rendered without context-appropriate output encoding.
CVE-2026-63361
This high-severity CVE scores 8.5 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 77% 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.
