October is a Content Management System (CMS) and web platform. Prior to versions 3.7.13 and 4.0.12, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in October CMS backend configuration forms.

GHSA-gxxc-m74c-f48xOctober CMS Vulnerable to Stored XSS via Editor and Branding Styles2026-01-09ghsa · osvUS
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities was identified in October CMS backend configuration forms: - **Editor Settings Markup Styles** A user with the `Global Editor Settings` permission could inject malicious HTML/JS into the stylesheet input at *Settings → Editor Settings → Markup Styles*. A specially crafted input could break out of the intended `<style>` context, allowing arbitrary script execution across backend pages for all users. --- ### Impact - Persistent XSS across the backend interface. - Exploitable by lower-privileged accounts with the above permissions. - Potential consequences include privilege escalation, session hijacking, and execution of unauthorized actions in victim sessions. --- ### Patches The vulnerability has been patched in **v4.0.12** and **v3.7.13**. Stylesheet inputs are now sanitized to prevent injection of arbitrary HTML/JS. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest patched version. --- ### Workarounds If upgrading immediately is not possible: - Restrict the permissions `Global Editor Settings` to fully trusted administrators only. This reduces exposure but does not fully eliminate risk. --- ### Credits - Reported by **[Nakkouch Tarek](https://github.com/nakkouchtarek)**
