CVE-2026-81896

Concrete CMS before 9.5.3 does not apply HTML entity encoding to user-defined Form block question labels when rendering them as column headers in the Dashboard Form Submissions report (concrete/single_pages/dashboard/reports/forms/legacy.php). a rogue editor could store markup or script in a label that then executes in the browser of any administrator who opens the submissions report for the affected form, producing stored cross-site scripting in the Dashboard. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4.0 score of 8.4 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Yonatan Drori from Tenzai for reporting.
