CVE-2026-33525
March 26, 2026
Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server providing two-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for applications via a web portal. In version 4.39.15, an attacker may potentially be able to inject javascript into the Authelia login page if several conditions are met simultaneously. Unless both the "script-src" and "connect-src" directives have been modified it's almost impossible for this to have a meaningful impact. However if both of these are and they are done so without consideration to their potential impact; there is a are situations where this vulnerability could be exploited. This is caused to the lack of neutralization of the "langauge" cookie value when rendering the HTML template. This vulnerability is likely difficult to discover though fingerprinting due to the way Authelia is designed but it should not be considered impossible. The additional requirement to identify the secondary application is however likely to be significantly harder to identify along side this, but also likely easier to fingerprint. Users should upgrade to 4.39.16 or downgrade to 4.39.14 to mitigate the issue. The overwhelming majority of installations will not be affected and no workarounds are necessary. The default value for the Content Security Policy makes exploiting this weakness completely impossible. It's only possible via the deliberate removal of the Content Security Policy or deliberate inclusion of clearly noted unsafe policies.
