CVE-2026-25482

Description

## Summary A stored DOM XSS vulnerability exists in the **"Recent Orders"** dashboard widget. The Order Status Name is rendered via JavaScript string concatenation without proper escaping, allowing script execution when any admin visits the dashboard. Users are recommended to update to the patched 5.5.2 release to mitigate the issue. --- ## Proof of Concept ### Required Permissions - Admin access (to edit/create Order Statuses) ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Log in with an admin account 2. Navigate to **Commerce** → **Settings** → **Order Statuses** 3. Create new order status (e.g., "Pending") 4. Set the **Name** field to: ```html <img src=x onerror="alert('Order Statuses XSS')" hidden> ``` 5. Save the order status 6. Go to Commerce Orders & make some orders with different statuses (e.g. "New" & "the malicious created status") 7. Go to the Dashboard (`/admin/dashboard`) & Add **"Recent Orders"** widget and pick the same 2 statuses for orders 8.

When JavaScript inserts this HTML into the DOM, any malicious tags/scripts in the name are executed.<img width="1780" height="858" alt="vulnerable-code" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b150ee9d-c072-4987-b506-81a29c23d84b" /> --- ## Mitigation Use `Craft.escapeHtml()` in the callback: ```javascript callback: function(value) { return '<span class="commerceStatusLabel"><span class="status ' + Craft.escapeHtml(value.color) + '"></span>' + Craft.escapeHtml(value.name) + '</span>'; } ``` ## Resources: https://github.com/craftcms/commerce/commit/d94d1c9832a47a1c383e375ae87c46c13935ba65
