Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Group-Office (CVE-2026-45551)
Summary
Cross-site scripting in Group-Office (CVE-2026-45551). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 26.0.25 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Group-Office is an enterprise customer relationship management and groupware tool. Prior to 26.0.25, 25.0.100, and 6.8.165, GroupOffice allows authenticated users to persist arbitrary legacy settings for any user_id via index.php?r=core/saveSetting. A separate client-side sink in the email module injects the email_font_size setting directly into JavaScript without escaping. By combining these two issues, any low-privileged authenticated user can overwrite an administrator's email_font_size setting with a JavaScript payload and trigger stored XSS in the administrator's browser when the GroupOffice web client loads views/Extjs3/modulescripts.php. This vulnerability is fixed in 26.0.25, 25.0.100, and 6.8.165.
