CVE-2026-50231
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 · uneditedLyrion Music Server 9.2.0 contains an unauthenticated stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the log viewer that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts by exploiting unescaped template variables. Attackers can inject XSS payloads through search, lines, and path query parameters or by crafting values that get logged such as URLs, User-Agent headers, stream titles, or player names to execute arbitrary scripts in users' browsers.
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 analysis · high confidenceLyrion Music Server 9.2.0 contains an unauthenticated stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the log viewer. Attackers can inject malicious scripts through unsanitized query parameters (search, lines, path) or by crafting values like URLs, User-Agent headers, stream titles, or player names that get logged and displayed without output encoding, allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution in victim browsers.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Lyrion Music Server is installedCheck for the application in standard installation directories or look for the service process running (common paths: /opt/lyrion/, C:\Program Files\Lyrion\, or check running services for 'Lyrion' or 'squeezebox' processes)Affected if The application is present and running on the system
-
Verify the installed version is 9.2.0Check the version via the administrative web interface (usually in Help > About or Settings > System), or check the executable/service version informationAffected if The installed version is exactly 9.2.0 or falls within the affected range around this release
-
Confirm the log viewer feature is accessibleLocate the log viewer interface in the web admin panel (typically under Settings > Logging, Diagnostics, or Server > Log Files)Affected if The log viewer web interface is enabled and accessible without authentication or with admin credentials
-
Test for unsanitized query parameter injectionAccess the log viewer URL with crafted query parameters such as: /logviewer?search=<script>alert(1)</script> or /logviewer?lines=100&path=<img src=x onerror=alert(1)> and inspect if the values are rendered without encodingAffected if The injected script tags or HTML/JS payloads execute or render unescaped in the log viewer output
-
Verify logged data displays without output encodingTrigger logging of user-controlled values: inject a test payload (e.g., a custom User-Agent header, stream title, or player name containing <script>test</script>), then access the log viewer and check if these values appear with the tags intact and executableAffected if User-supplied data appears in the log viewer output with raw HTML/JavaScript tags visible and executable
A user is affected if they are running Lyrion Music Server version 9.2.0 with the log viewer feature accessible and user-controllable data (query parameters, User-Agent, stream titles, or player names) appearing unencoded in the log output.

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.
From vendor dataApply output encoding to all user-controlled data rendered in the log viewer and implement input validation for query parameters. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers as defense-in-depth to mitigate XSS impact.
