In versions 4.4.0 through 4.15, if an application uses HttpException::setTitle() and/or setDescription() to include untrusted/request-derived data in the error title or description (e.g. \"No products found matching '{$query}'.\"), an attacker could inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript that executes in the victim's browser when they encounter an HTML error page generated by Slim. The vulnerability is present even with displayErrorDetails = false as the unescaped title and description are rendered on this error path. Built-in exceptions (HttpNotFoundException, HttpBadRequestException, etc.) ship plain-text defaults, so a vanilla Slim app with no user code is not exploitable. Only applications that feed untrusted data into setTitle() and/or setDescription() are affected. The issue has been fixed in 4.15.2. If developers are unable to immediately update their applications, they can work around this issue by avoiding passing untrusted/request-derived data into HttpException::setTitle() and setDescription() and using static, plain-text error copy instead.\nThey should also register a custom error renderer (an ErrorRendererInterface implementation, or a subclass of HtmlErrorRenderer that escapes the title and description) for the HTML media type.","published":"2026-06-15T22:16:17.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-25T23:10:00.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00167,"percentile":0.05899,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.17%).
