CVE-2026-46392 PUBLISHED

HAX CMS PHP Has a Stored XSS via Case-Sensitivity Mismatch in HTML Upload Validation

HAX CMS helps manage microsite universe with PHP or NodeJs backends. Prior to version 26.0.0 of HAX CMS PHP, the saveFile endpoint validates upload extensions case-insensitively and writes the filename to disk verbatim, but the .htaccess rule that forces Content-Disposition: attachment on HTML files is case-sensitive. An HTML file uploaded with an uppercase extension (.HTML, .Html, .HTM) is still served as text/html but the forced-download header never applies, so the browser renders it inline and executes any embedded JavaScript in the HAXcms origin. This bypasses the mitigation shipped for CVE-2026-22704. Version 26.0.0 contains a fix.
