CVE-2026-45138: CI4MS: Stored XSS in Blog Content via Broken `html_purify` Validation Rule

May 18, 2026

The custom html_purify validation rule used to sanitize blog post bodies relies on by-reference mutation (?string &$str), but CodeIgniter 4’s validator passes a local copy of the value, so the sanitized text is silently discarded. The Blog controller writes $lanData['content'] directly into blog_langs.content, and the public template echoes it without escaping — yielding stored XSS executable in any visitor’s browser, including the superadmin when previewing or editing posts.
