Description

Concrete CMS version 9 before 9.2.8 and previous versions prior to 8.5.16 is vulnerable to Stored XSS on the calendar color settings screen since Information input by the user is output without escaping. A rogue administrator could inject malicious javascript into the Calendar Color Settings screen which might be executed when users visit the affected page. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v3.1 score of 2.0 with a vector of AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N&version=3.1 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for concrete5/concrete5, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update concrete5/concrete5 to 9.2.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pj42-r64f-4xfq is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    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.
