CVE-2026-91775
HighCVSS 7.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk29th percentile - higher than 29% of all known CVEs
Summary
LimeSurvey fails to safely encode attacker-controlled content from a crafted .lss survey file when displaying import warnings, resulting in XSS in the administrative interface.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the administrator's browser, potentially hijacking the session or performing actions on their behalf.
Recommendation
Update LimeSurvey to a patched version. Do not import .lss files from untrusted sources.
Other vulnerabilities in LimeSurvey
See all- CVE-2025-56422Critical
A deserialization vulnerability in LimeSurvey before v6.15.0+250623 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server.
- CVE-2026-92730High
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.14 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability on the administrative survey-participant CSV import result page.
- CVE-2026-65931Medium
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the survey menu entry creation endpoint. An authenticated user with only global settings:read permission can directly invoke POST /index.php/admin/menuentries/sa/create and create new survey menu entries without the expected settings:update privilege. The endpoint also allows the attacker to submit menu IDs that the normal interface restricts for non-superadministrators, enabling unauthorized changes to administrative navigation records.
- CVE-2026-65930Medium
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains an authenticated stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the replacement-fields dialog used by the administrative question editor. This issue affects LimeSurvey 7.0.5.
- CVE-2026-63360High
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5+260623 contains an authenticated reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the user activation confirmation endpoint. The 'action' query parameter is copied into the response and inserted into a hidden input attribute without HTML attribute encoding.
- CVE-2026-16809High
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the survey quota creation workflow. An authenticated low-privileged user who can create and manage their own survey can store malicious JavaScript in a quota message.
- CVE-2026-15973High
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Survey Menu Entries admin page. An authenticated user with global settings:read permission can create a survey menu entry with attacker-controlled data. The value is stored and later inserted into a single-quoted HTML title attribute without proper encoding.
- CVE-2026-18403Medium
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the Central Participant Database (CPDB) workflow that copies survey participant tokens to the central participant list.
- CVE-2026-63361High
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains an authenticated reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the HTML editor popup endpoint. The text and name query parameters are passed through a blacklist sanitizer and then rendered without context-appropriate output encoding.
- CVE-2026-63107High
LimeSurvey up to versions 6.17.10 and 7.0.4 contains an SSRF vulnerability in the REST API survey template endpoint. Authenticated users can manipulate the Host header, causing the server to issue arbitrary HTTP requests, enabling access to internal network services and cloud metadata endpoints.
