CVE-2026-67444 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 7.1 (high) and affects hubleys-dashboard; fixed in 0.5.2.

## Summary

Hubleys, a dashboard for self-hosted services from knrdl, has a stored cross-site scripting flaw: any logged-in non-admin user can upload a file as their background image and have it served with an attacker-chosen content type, so an embedded script can run without the app's Content-Security-Policy applying. The bug can be reached remotely by a user with a low-privilege account, and it is fixed in a patched release.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Teams running Hubleys dashboard up to 0.5.1 where regular non-admin users can log in and set background images.

## Affected

- knrdl hubleys-dashboard: fixed in 0.5.2

## Description

Hubleys is a dashboard for self-hosted services. Prior to version 0.5.2, any authenticated (non-admin) Hubleys user can upload a file with an arbitrary extension as their dashboard "background image," and the server will later serve that file back with a Content-Type derived straight from the attacker's chosen extension - so uploading an .html file gets it served as text/html. Because the endpoint that serves it returns a manually-constructed response rather than going through SvelteKit's normal page-rendering pipeline, the app's configured Content-Security-Policy never gets attached to it either, so a script embedded in the upload runs unrestricted. This issue has been patched in version 0.5.2.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-67444 (Hubleys: Stored XSS via unrestricted background-image upload, served with an attacker-chosen Content-Type and no CSP protection), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-67444 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- knrdl hubleys-dashboard: fixed in 0.5.2
Fixed versions: 0.5.2.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Any authenticated non-admin Hubleys user can upload a background image (source: https://github.com/knrdl/hubleys-dashboard/security/advisories/GHSA-j2w9-hhqw-mrq8)
- Background image upload feature is available to ordinary users (source: https://github.com/knrdl/hubleys-dashboard/security/advisories/GHSA-j2w9-hhqw-mrq8)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-67444 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-67444 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:

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.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-67444 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: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-67444

### What does this mean?

Uploaded background images are served with an attacker-chosen Content-Type and no CSP protection, so script in the uploaded file's link runs in the origin of anyone who opens it, including admins, and can act with the victim's privileges.
