Summary
OpenMage magento-lts before 20.18.2 and 21.0.0-beta1 before 21.0.0-beta3 serves RSS feeds with a text/html content type and does not escape feed entry data, leading to stored cross-site scripting. An unauthenticated guest can submit a product review with script in the nickname, title or text that executes when an administrator opens the pending-reviews feed, enabling admin account takeover.

CISA KEV: CVE-2026-128041 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-128041 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.
How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.
Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-lts/security/advisories/GHSA-j9c5-pcvx-jx9x
- https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-lts/commit/34e88f5447dff22e4ddc8cb0952d934ac3fdd15b
- https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/openmage-magento-lts-before-20.18.2-stored-xss-via-rss-review-feed
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.
Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

Questions about CVE-2026-128041
Is CVE-2026-128041 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
What does this mean?
A stored cross-site scripting flaw in the RSS review feed lets a script be saved and then run in an administrator's browser. That can lead to full takeover of the admin account.Source: github.com
Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-128041?
magento-lts: before 20.18.2. magento-lts: from 21.0.0-beta1 before 21.0.0-beta3.Source: cve.now feed data
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Versions before 20.18.2, and 21.0.0-beta1 before 21.0.0-beta3. The issue only applies when RSS is turned on and the review feed is enabled, since RSS ships disabled; the RSS active setting (rss/config/active) and the per-feed switches show whether it is on.Source: github.com
How do I fix CVE-2026-128041?
Upgrade to magento-lts 20.18.2, or to 21.0.0-beta3 if you are on the 21.0 beta line.Source: github.com
