    Vulnerabilities in UBB.threads software

    CERT Polska has received a report about vulnerabilities in UBB Systems UBB.threads software and participated in coordination of their disclosure.

    The vulnerabilityCVE-2026-54219: UBB.threads is vulnerable to Stored XSS via user posts and user profile fields. The application fails to properly sanitize user input, allowing low privileged attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in a victim's browser upon viewing.

    The vulnerabilityCVE-2026-54220: uBB.threads is vulnerable to a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) due to a lack of protective mechanisms. This allows an attacker to trick an authenticated user into executing unintended actions.

    The vulnerabilityCVE-2026-54221: UBB.threads is vulnerable to Reflected XSS. The application improperly handles user input in certain requests, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a victim's browser by tricking them into clicking a crafted link.

    The vulnerabilityCVE-2026-54222: UBB.threads is vulnerable to Blind SQL Injection, allowing attackers with access to the Members in Control Panel to interact with the underlying database. Due to insufficient input sanitization, an attacker can extract sensitive information, such as user credentials, by manipulating SQL queries through time-based or boolean-based techniques.

    The vulnerabilityCVE-2026-54223: UBB.threads is vulnerable to Path traversal, allowing attackers with privilege to edit templates to read and write any file on the application’s server that application has privileges to, what results in Remote Code Execution.

    The vulnerabilityCVE-2026-54224: UBB.threads is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). By sending multiple concurrent requests to view any user profile on instances with many registered users, an authenticated attacker can easily exhaust database resources and completely deny access to the application for other users.

    Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version7.7.5but may also affect other versions.
