Summary
Contao is an open source content management system. In versions from 4.0.0 to 4.9.42, 4.13.28, and 5.1.10, untrusted backend users can inject malicious code into headline fields, which will be executed both in the element preview and on the website.
Risk Assessment
Organizations are at risk if they have untrusted backend users with rights to modify headline fields, potentially leading to the execution of malicious code on the site.
Recommendation
It is recommended to install patches in versions 4.9.42, 4.13.28, and 5.1.10 or temporarily disable login for all untrusted backend users.

iperf3 3.20–3.21 (esnet/iperf) has a pre-auth heap buffer overflow in decrypt_rsa_message(): a 256-byte RSA buffer is BIO_read with the attacker-controlled ciphertext length (guard warns only), so an unauthenticated client overflows the heap via an oversized authtoken; fixed in 3.22
- CVE-2026-102149Critical
Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway did not sufficiently restrict which account a certificate could be assigned to. This could allow an attacker to associate a certificate with another user's account, affecting the confidentiality and integrity of that account's encrypted mail and, where certificate-based login is enabled, potentially permitting unauthorized access to the account.
- CVE-2026-102147Critical
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) weakness in Kiteworks Core could allow an unauthenticated attacker to store crafted content that later executes arbitrary JavaScript in the authenticated session of an administrator who views the affected page. This could have permitted the attacker to gain full administrative control, including the creation of a new administrative account.
Original NVD description (English source)
Contao is an open source content management system. Starting in version 4.0.0 and prior to versions 4.9.42, 4.13.28, and 5.1.10, it is possible for untrusted backend users to inject malicious code into headline fields in the back end, which will be executed both in the element preview (back end) and on the website (front end). Installations are only affected if there are untrusted back end users who have the rights to modify headline fields, or other fields using the input unit widget. Contao 4.9.42, 4.13.28, and 5.1.10 have a patch for this issue. As a workaround, disable the login for all untrusted back end users.
