CVE-2026-82396

### Impact Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in the media download endpoint. The download route (`/media/{id}/download/{slug}` and its admin variant) accepts the query parameter `?inline=1`. When it is present, the response is sent with the header `Content-Disposition: inline` for any MIME type, which overrides the disposition rules the server would otherwise apply. By default, HTML and other scriptable uploads are not blocked, the file is served on the application origin with its stored `Content-Type`, and no `X-Content-Type-Options` or `Content-Security-Policy` header is sent. Because of this, an attacker can upload an HTML file and build a link that runs their own JavaScript in the context of the Sulu origin. Every installation where users who are not fully trusted can upload media is affected. This includes editors who hold the media add permission. Such an editor can store a payload that runs in the authenticated session of anyone who opens the link, including an administrator, which allows theft of the session and credentials and lets the attacker act as the victim. The problem is present on the 2.6 and 3.0 branches and goes back to the introduction of the `?inline` override in 2017. It is not the same as CVE-2024-47617, which was a reflected XSS through the `slug` and is already fixed. ### Patches Fixed in **2.6.25** and **3.0.8**. The download route now forces `Content-Disposition: attachment` for MIME types a browser renders as a document (`text/html`, `application/xhtml+xml`, `text/xml`, `application/xml`), even when `?inline=1` is requested. Inline viewing is unchanged for safe types such as PDF and images. ### Workarounds Block scriptable uploads by MIME type through `sulu_media.upload.blocked_file_types`. This stops new uploads only, so existing media has to be reviewed separately. ```yaml sulu_media: upload: blocked_file_types: [text/html, application/xhtml+xml, image/svg+xml, text/xml, application/xml, text/javascript, application
