CVE-2026-44977 PUBLISHED

countly-server: Stored XSS in feedback upload enables app-admin to compromise global admin session context

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 08.05.2026 Published: 16.10.2026 Updated: 16.10.2026

countly-server is the server-side part of Countly, a product analytics solution. Prior to 24.05.50 and 25.03.44, plugins/star-rating/api/api.js allows a non-global application administrator to use uploadFeedbackFile to store attacker-controlled active content while trusting the supplied MIME type. plugins/star-rating/frontend/app.js publicly serves the stored content from feedback/preview/ with the attacker-influenced Content-Type, so a global administrator who opens the preview executes the payload in the Countly origin and exposes authenticated session capabilities, including auth_token and csrf_token values. This issue is fixed in versions 24.05.50 and 25.03.44.
