CVE-2026-97182
HighCVSS 7.3Summary
A security vulnerability has been detected in halo-dev Halo up to 2.25.4/2.26.1. Affected is an unknown function of the file application/src/main/java/run/halo/app/content/comment/ReplyNotificationSubscriptionHelper.java of the SpEL Handler component. Such manipulation leads to improper neutralization.
