CVE-2026-59102 — Forgejo security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.4

Forgejo before 15.0.3 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in other users' browsers by setting a full name containing an HTML payload and triggering an Actions run. When the DEFAULT_SHOW_FULL_NAME option is enabled, the run description is assembled server-side with the user's display name interpolated into an HTML string via a translation function that does not escape its arguments, and the frontend renders the result using a Vue v-html binding, causing script execution for any user who views the affected Actions run page.

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.
