Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in b2evolution versions 6.7.5 and earlier. The flaw is located in the 'Short site name' setting within the 'set_settings' component, where input is not properly sanitized before being rendered in the site header. An authenticated attacker with sufficient privileges to modify site settings can inject malicious JavaScript or HTML. When other users, including administrators, view pages where this site name is displayed, the payload executes in the context of their session. A patch has been released in the project's GitHub repository to address this by implementing proper HTML attribute encoding.
