CVE-2026-48060

litestar-org litestarVulnerabilityCVSS 8.1

Litestar is an Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI) framework. Prior to version 2.20.0, Litestar instances which use a template engine in conjunction with CSRF protection are vulnerable to HTML Injection which can be escalated to Cross Site Scripting due to the contents of the CSRF cookie being excluded from automatic escaping by the template engine when configured inline with documentation recommendations. This issue has been patched in version 2.20.0.

No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.

Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.

Affected & fixed versions by distribution

Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.

No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
