CVE-2026-35576
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 · uneditedChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.0.0, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in ChurchCRM within the Person Property Management subsystem. This issue persists in versions patched for CVE-2023-38766 and allows an authenticated user to inject arbitrary JavaScript code via dynamically assigned person properties. The malicious payload is persistently stored and executed when other users view the affected person profile or access the printable view, potentially leading to session hijacking or full account compromise. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.0.
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.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped7.0.0
7.0.0
- 1. Back up the current ChurchCRM installation and database before proceeding with any upgrade
- 2. Download ChurchCRM version 7.0.0 from the official GitHub releases or the ChurchCRM website
- 3. Install the 7.0.0 version following the standard upgrade procedure documented in the ChurchCRM wiki
- 4. Verify the installation was successful by logging in and accessing the Person Property Management subsystem
- 5. Confirm the XSS vulnerability is remediated by testing that injected JavaScript in person properties no longer executes
