GHSA-VGP4-2FC4-QFF2

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-12 14:40 – Updated: 2026-08-12 14:40

Summary

Winter: Stored XSS through Editor Settings custom styles

Details

Impact

Authenticated Backend Users with the backend.manage_editor ("Manage editor settings") permission can provide custom styles through Settings → Editor Settings → Markup Styles that are compiled through the LESS CSS parser and rendered on every backend page. Previously, the compiled output was not sanitized, which could have allowed a stored XSS attack.

Although this is a valid security issue, it's important to note that its severity is relatively low. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would already need to have trusted access to the Winter CMS backend with a specific administrative permission. The Winter CMS maintainers recommend that the backend.manage_editor permission only be granted to trusted administrators and developers.

A related issue exists in the custom CSS field at Settings → Customize Backend → Styles (backend.manage_branding permission), which uses the same rendering mechanism and is addressed separately.

All users are advised to update to the latest version to ensure their systems remain secure.

Patches

This issue has been patched in v1.2.13. The renderCss() method now applies strip_tags() to compiled CSS output before returning it.

Workarounds

Apply https://github.com/wintercms/winter/commit/d28f0b9474af79cfaa80eeb9d691f7a7c4469720 manually if unable to upgrade to v1.2.13.

Previously, the compiled output was not sanitized, which could have allowed a stored XSS attack.\n\nAlthough this is a valid security issue, it\u0027s important to note that its severity is relatively low. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would already need to have trusted access to the Winter CMS backend with a specific administrative permission. The Winter CMS                maintainers recommend that the `backend.manage_editor` permission only be granted to trusted administrators and developers.\n\nA related issue exists in the custom CSS field at **Settings \u2192 Customize Backend \u2192 Styles** (`backend.manage_branding` permission), which uses the same rendering mechanism and is addressed separately.\n\nAll users are advised to update to the latest version to ensure their systems remain secure.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis issue has been patched in v1.2.13. The `renderCss()` method now applies `strip_tags()` to compiled CSS output before returning it.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nApply [https://github.com/wintercms/winter/commit/d28f0b9474af79cfaa80eeb9d691f7a7c4469720](https://github.com/wintercms/winter/commit/d28f0b9474af79cfaa80eeb9d691f7a7c4469720) manually if unable to upgrade to v1.2.13.\n\n### Resources\n\n- CVE-2025-61674 (identical vulnerability in October CMS, patched in v3.7.13 and v4.0.12)",
