{"id":"BIT-appsmith-2026-30862","summary":"Critical Stored XSS & Privilege Escalation in Appsmith","details":"Appsmith is a platform to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Prior to 1.96, a Critical Stored XSS vulnerability exists in the Table Widget (TableWidgetV2). The root cause is a lack of HTML sanitization in the React component rendering pipeline, allowing malicious attributes to be interpolated into the DOM. By leveraging the \"Invite Users\" feature, an attacker with a regular user account (user@gmail.com) can force a System Administrator to execute a high-privileged API call (/api/v1/admin/env), resulting in a Full Administrative Account Takeover. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.96.","aliases":["CVE-2026-30862","GHSA-5hw4-whxv-6794"],"modified":"2026-09-08T08:45:45.625415212Z","published":"2026-03-12T08:36:03.908Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:appsmith:appsmith:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"Critical"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/security/advisories/GHSA-5hw4-whxv-6794"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-30862"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"appsmith","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/appsmith"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.96.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/appsmith/BIT-appsmith-2026-30862.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
