CVE-2025-61597
In versions 2.5.21 and below, an HTML template injection allows stored cross‑site scripting (XSS) via the mail template settings.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Emlog is an open source website building system. In versions 2.5.21 and below, an HTML template injection allows stored cross‑site scripting (XSS) via the mail template settings. Once a malicious payload is saved, any subsequent visit to the settings page in an authenticated admin context will execute attacker‑controlled JavaScript, enabling session/token theft and full admin account takeover. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.22.
