CVE-2026-114404 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.1 · Published 2026-10-21

Technical details

The HTML writer in PHPPresentation 1.2.0 fails to properly escape text runs, hyperlink targets, and shape description attributes when emitting HTML output, resulting in reflected cross-site scripting. An attacker can craft a PPTX file with malicious content that gets written unescaped to the generated HTML. This requires the attacker to supply the presentation file and the victim to view the HTML output, but no authentication is required.
