Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-18119?

Affected package information for CVE-2026-18119 is not yet fully mapped. Check the official advisory links for details.

How do I fix CVE-2026-18119?

Upgrade the affected component to the fixed release for CVE-2026-18119, or apply your distribution's backported patch — distro builds are often patched at an older version number, so check your vendor's advisory rather than the upstream version alone.

How do I detect CVE-2026-18119 in my code and dependencies?

Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-18119 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.

Is CVE-2026-18119 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-18119 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-18119?

CVE-2026-18119 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 22th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days.

Description

Concrete CMS below 9.5.3 did not sanitize custom style values in the Block Design dialog before writing them into page CSS via a DOM sink, permitting stored cross-site scripting. An editor-level user could execute script in an administrator's session and escalate privileges. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4.0 score of 7.0 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:L/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Nguyen Manh Thuan for reporting.
