CVE-2026-22198 - GestSup Plugin

CVE-2026-22198

GestSup versions prior to 3.2.60 contain a pre-authentication stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the API error logging functionality. By sending an API request with a crafted X-API-KEY header value (for example, to /api/v1/ticket.php), an unauthenticated attacker can cause attacker-controlled HTML/JavaScript to be written to log entries. When an administrator later views the affected logs in the web interface, the injected content is rendered without proper output encoding, resulting in arbitrary script execution in the administrator’s browser session.

Technical Summary

GestSup versions prior to 3.2.60 contain a pre-authentication stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the API error logging functionality. By sending an API request with a crafted X-API-KEY header value (for example, to /api/v1/ticket.php), an unauthenticated attacker can cause attacker-controlled HTML/JavaScript to be written to log entries. When an administrator later views the affected logs in the web interface, the injected content is rendered without proper output encoding, resulting in arbitrary script execution in the administrator’s browser session.

Potential Impact

Severity is MEDIUM (CVSS 5.1). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.

Exploitability Assessment

Exploitability is assessed as Low based on low-bar exploit prerequisites.

Primary risk drivers: low-bar exploit prerequisites

Mitigation Recommendations

Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.

Business Impact Lens

Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
