Description
Summary
An HTML Injection vulnerability exists in the user group creation functionality that allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML content into the application interface. The vulnerability occurs when user-supplied input in the group name field is not properly sanitized before being rendered, allowing an attacker to inject HTML elements such as anchor tags. This may enable phishing attacks or unintended redirection when other users interact with the injected content.
Details
The vulnerable code responsible for rendering this content is located in: modules/utenti/edit.php
<i class="fa fa-users mr-2"></i>'.tr('Utenti del gruppo: _GROUP_', [
'_GROUP_' => '<span class="text-primary">'.$group->getTranslation('title').'</span>
PoC
A malicious user can inject HTML content into the Name field when creating a new user group.

As a result, the anchor tag is displayed as an active link in the interface.

Impact
This vulnerability is an HTML Injection caused by improper sanitization of user-supplied input before rendering it in the application interface. Any user who views the interface where the injected content is rendered may be impacted.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for devcode-it/openstamanager, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update devcode-it/openstamanager to 2.11-beta or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-44701 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
