CVE-2026-73192: Apache Sling XSS reflected XSS in getValidHref()

CVE-2026-73192 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.1 · Published 2026-09-23

Apache Sling XSS is a library that sanitizes user input to prevent cross-site scripting attacks in web applications. A flaw in the getValidHref() method fails to properly neutralize malicious input, allowing an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a user's browser when the library is used in an application. An attacker needs to submit an unsanitized value through an application that uses this vulnerable method to exploit the flaw.
