Vulnerability in rucio-webui (CVE-2026-25736)
Summary
Vulnerability in rucio-webui (CVE-2026-25736). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /proxy/rses/WEB1/attr/XSS. Mitigation: upgrade to 39.3.1 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
A stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the Custom RSE Attribute of the WebUI where attacker-controlled input is persisted by the backend and later rendered in the WebUI without proper output encoding. This allows arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of the WebUI for users who view affected pages, potentially enabling session token theft or unauthorized actions.
Details
A stored XSS payload can be introduced via a custom RSE attribute value and is later rendered when the RSE is viewed.

Impact
Any authenticated user who views affected resources may execute attacker-controlled JavaScript in the WebUI origin. Depending on the affected feature, this may impact all users or administrative users only.
The impact is amplified by:
- Session cookies that are accessible to JavaScript (missing HttpOnly flag).
- API tokens exposed to the WebUI via JavaScript variables.
An attacker would likely attempt to exfiltrate the session token to an external site by setting an encoded version of the cookie as the path of a GET request to an attacker controlled site (i.…
