CVE-2026-31953 — Xibo is an open source digital signage platform with a web content management system and Windows display player software

Medium CVSS 6.4

Xibo is an open source digital signage platform with a web content management system and Windows display player software. A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions prior to 4.4.1 allows an authenticated user with notification creation permissions to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the notification body. When the notification is set as an "interrupt," the payload executes automatically in the browser of any targeted user upon login, requiring zero user interaction. Exploitation of the vulnerability is possible on behalf of an authorized user who has both of the following privileges, which are not granted to non-admins as standard: Access to the Notification Centre to view past notifications, and include "Add Notification" button to allow for the creation of new notifications. Users should upgrade to version 4.4.1 which fixes this issue. Upgrading to a fixed version is necessary to remediate. Users unable to upgrade should revoke such privileges from users they do not trust.

Cross-site scripting and unsafe browser output

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace reflected, stored, and DOM-derived untrusted values into HTML, attributes, URLs, styles, scripts, and client-side template sinks.
  • Identify affected origins, authenticated user roles, sensitive browser capabilities, and where content is shared across tenants.
  • Review framework escaping, rich-text sanitization, legacy templates, and client-side rendering paths.

Remediate safely

  • Use context-aware framework output encoding and safe DOM APIs; keep untrusted data out of executable contexts.
  • Sanitize intentionally supported markup with a maintained allowlist policy and validate URLs and attributes separately.
  • Update affected rendering components and add tests for every output context using inert sentinel markup.
