CVE-2026-52854
### Summary Stored XSS through wikitext can be performed by inserting malicious HTML into the `overlays` parameter of the `display_map` parser function when using the leaflet service. ### Details The maps extension doesn't escape overlay names before passing them to leaflet. Leaflet then inserts them as HTML: https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/Maps/blob/ca5139fabd75f3c34f47ea3fd161306506b053bc/resources/lib/leaflet/leaflet.js#L5243 ### PoC Preview the following wikitext, using the default configuration options of the extension: ``` {{#display_map:0,0|service=leaflet|overlays=OpenTopoMap.<img src=x onerror="alert(1);">}} ``` ### Impact Stored XSS can be performed by any user with the `edit` permission.
