# CVE-2026-44651: SillyTavern: Reflected XSS vulnerability in the CORS proxy middleware

- Also known as: GHSA-XC4X-2452-5GC9
- Severity: CVSS 6.9 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.18.0
- Published: 2026-05-29 · Updated: 2026-06-01

## Affected

- SillyTavern: fixed in 1.18.0
- sillytavern (npm): fixed in 1.18.0

## Description

SillyTavern is a locally installed user interface that allows users to interact with text generation large language models, image generation engines, and text-to-speech voice models. Prior to 1.18.0, when fetch(url) throws, the code sends: res.status(500).send('Error occurred while trying to proxy to: ' + url + ' ' + error). The url value is attacker-controlled (req.params.url) and is not HTML-escaped before rendering. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.18.0.
