{"id":"CVE-2026-54181","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-54181","summary":"Laravel Backpack CRUD: Stored XSS in the color column — the `@if($column['escaped'])` branches are inverted","details":"## Summary\n\nThe Blade template for the `color` column type (`src/resources/views/crud/columns/color.blade.php`) has its escaped/unescaped rendering branches inverted relative to every other column template in the library. Because `$column['escaped']` defaults to `true`, values stored in color columns are rendered **unescaped by default**, enabling Stored XSS if column values are not validated before storage.\n\n## Details\n\nAll other column templates in `src/resources/views/crud/columns/` follow the convention:\n- `$column['escaped'] == true` → `{{ $column['text'] }}` (HTML-escaped)\n- `$column['escaped'] == false` → `{!! $column['text'] !!}` (raw)\n\nThe `color` template has these branches swapped. An attacker who can write an arbitrary string to a `color`-typed column can inject JavaScript that executes in the browser of any user who views the list — including administrators — with access to their session cookies and CSRF tokens.\n\n## Impact\n\nStored XSS with scope change (attacker context runs in victim's browser). Highest-risk target is an administrator viewing the list view. Exploitability requires the ability to write an unsanitized value into a `color`-typed column.\n\n## Patches\n\nFixed in **6.8.14** and **7.0.38** by correcting the branch order in `color.blade.php`. See PR #5992.\n\n## Workarounds\n\nValidate stored color values against a strict CSS color grammar (e.g. `/^#[0-9a-fA-F]{3,6}$/`) at the model layer before data reaches the view.\n\n## Credits\n\nReported by Vishal Shukla ([@shukla304](https://github.com/shukla304)) via sechub.dev.","published":"2026-08-20T18:38:50Z","modified":"2026-08-20T18:45:14.796387020Z","cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"backpack/crud","fixedVersion":"6.8.14"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"backpack/crud","fixedVersion":"7.0.38"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/security/advisories/GHSA-mmg4-322v-6jvc"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/releases/tag/6.8.14"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/releases/tag/7.0.38"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-20T18:45:14.796387020Z"}}
