CVE-2026-54002

getkirby kirbyVulnerabilityCVSS 8.5

Kirby is an open-source content management system. Prior to 4.9.4 and 5.4.4, Kirby sites and plugins that use the writer or list fields or call Dom::sanitize(), Sane::sanitize(), Sane::Html::sanitize(), Sane::Svg::sanitize(), Sane::Xml::sanitize(), Sane::sanitizeFile(), or file sanitizeContents() with untrusted input allow malicious markup injected as children of an unknown HTML or XML tag to pass through Dom::sanitize() without being correctly sanitized, causing stored cross-site scripting. This issue is fixed in versions 4.9.4 and 5.4.4.

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.
