Cross-Site Scripting and JSON Injection Vulnerability in Quarkus Qute Template Engine
CVE-2026-93432

6.1MEDIUM

What is CVE-2026-93432?

A flaw exists in the Quarkus Qute template engine that occurs during the processing of sub-templates using the {#eval} section helper. This flaw prevents the transfer of the parent template's content type information, which circumvents standard escaping mechanisms for output data. As a result, untrusted data can be rendered as raw, unescaped text. The exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and JSON Injection attacks, enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary code within user browsers or manipulate sensitive data.
