FAQ

Questions about CVE-2026-120190

What does this mean?

The Submission Description Editor does not safely handle script content in imported submission data, so a script can run in the app's privileged Electron renderer. That script can read the AUTH_ID API token, stored site credentials, and account partition cookies.Source: objects.githubusercontent.com, github.com

Am I affected, and how do I check?

The report tested PostyBirb Plus official release v3.1.75. The issue requires importing an attacker-supplied FurAffinity archive dump directory through the app's Import directory feature and then opening the imported submission's edit page. Compare the installed version against v3.1.75 and check whether the Import directory feature has been used with such a directory.Source: objects.githubusercontent.com, github.com

What should I do about it?

Upgrade PostyBirb Plus to v3.1.76, the release the advisory lists as fixed.Source: objects.githubusercontent.com, github.com
