Summary
Cross-site Scripting in the Markdown renderer in maalfer Pentestify before 2.3.2 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the application origin via a Markdown link whose URL contains a double quote, which closes the anchor's href attribute because the renderer's sanitization step does not escape quotes.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes the possibility of executing scripts in the application context, which could lead to data theft, session hijacking, or other unauthorized actions.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade Pentestify to version 2.3.2 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in Pentestify
See all- CVE-2026-76203Medium
In maalfer Pentestify versions 1.2.0 through 2.3.2, there is a vulnerability due to incorrect behavior order (validate before canonicalize) in the report theme CSS sanitizer. An authenticated user can force outbound HTTP requests from other users' browsers, disclosing their IP address and User-Agent, via CSS hex escapes that reconstruct the url() function and evade the sanitizer blocklist.
- CVE-2026-19434Medium
Cross-site Scripting in the finding renderer in maalfer Pentestify before 2.3.1 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the application origin via HTML markup stored in a finding's severity field, which the frontend interpolates unescaped into class and style attributes when rendering the report.
- CVE-2026-59238Medium
Stored Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) in client-side report rendering functions (renderPreview, renderEditor, renderAuditData in js/app.js) in maalfer Pentestify before 1.1.0 allows a remote, authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of any user who views an affected report via a payload stored in a finding's images array or a report's client_logo array, which is interpolated into an <img> src attribute without escaping.
