CVE-2026-71446
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 · uneditedAIL Framework contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the crawler domain view. Crawled URLs were embedded directly into the JavaScript onclick handler used to display a stored screenshot, without context-appropriate encoding. An attacker who can cause a specially crafted URL to be recorded in the crawler history can inject JavaScript syntax into the stored URL value. The payload remains stored by AIL and is subsequently included in the domain view. When an authenticated analyst clicks the screenshot icon associated with the malicious URL, the injected JavaScript executes in the analyst’s browser within the security context of the AIL Framework application. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to access information available to the analyst’s session, modify displayed content, or perform application actions using the analyst’s privileges. Exploitation requires the victim to interact with the affected screenshot entry. The vulnerability was corrected by serializing the crawled URL with Jinja’s tojson filter before inserting it into the JavaScript handler. This safely escapes characters that could otherwise terminate the JavaScript string and introduce executable code.
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.
From vendor dataThere is no version to upgrade to and no patch to apply. Every affected install stays exposed until the vendor ships a fix — or somebody else builds one.
Free. We build fixes in the order the community asks for them — and we’ll tell you the moment this one lands.
We develop and verify an original fix where the vendor hasn’t, from $900. Deployed to your staging first — never straight to production.
