CVE-2026-21451
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedBagisto is an open source laravel eCommerce platform. A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Bagisto prior to version 2.3.10 within the CMS page editor. Although the platform normally attempts to sanitize `<script>` tags, the filtering can be bypassed by manipulating the raw HTTP POST request before submission. As a result, arbitrary JavaScript can be stored in the CMS content and executed whenever the page is viewed or edited. This exposes administrators to a high-severity risk, including complete account takeover, backend hijacking, and malicious script execution. Version 2.3.10 fixes the issue.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisUntrusted input is placed into a web page without being neutralised, so an attacker's markup or script executes in another user's browser. That can hijack sessions, capture keystrokes, or silently perform actions as the victim. Fixing it properly means context-aware output encoding everywhere data meets HTML, backed by a content-security policy as a second line of defence.

dbcve · scoped2.3.10
Bagisto version 2.3.10
- 1. Create a complete backup of the Bagisto database and all application files.
- 2. Review Bagisto's official upgrade documentation for version 2.3.10 to understand the upgrade process.
- 3. Update dependencies in composer.json if required by pointing to version 2.3.10 or the latest stable release.
- 4. Run the composer update command to fetch the patched version: composer update bagisto/core --with-all-dependencies
- 5. Run database migrations if any are included in the update: php artisan migrate
- 6. Clear the application cache: php artisan cache:clear
- 7. Verify the CMS page editor now properly sanitizes XSS payloads even when raw HTTP POST requests are manipulated.
- 8. Test that legitimate CMS functionality works as expected after the upgrade.
