CVE-2026-55890: Grav: Stored CSS injection via Markdown image ?style=… reaches MediaObjectTrait::style() — incomplete patch of GHSA-r7fx-8g49-7hhr

June 18, 2026

The fix for GHSA-r7fx-8g49-7hhr / CVE-2026-42841 (Stored XSS via Markdown media attribute() action) is incomplete. The maintainer patched MediaObjectTrait::attribute() to deny dangerous attribute names (event handlers, style, xmlns, srcdoc, formaction) but the sibling MediaObjectTrait::style() method is reachable through the same Markdown excerpt-action pipeline and writes editor-controlled strings straight into the rendered <img style="…"> attribute with no sanitization.

Any user with admin.pages permission (e.g. an editor) can save Markdown like:

![logo](image.png?style=position:fixed;top:0;left:0;width:100vw;height:100vh;background:white;z-index:9999)

which renders to a stored-CSS payload that any higher-privileged viewer (administrator, super-admin, reviewer) loads in their authenticated session. Same trust boundary, same victim, same attacker, same Markdown input vector as the patched GHSA-r7fx-8g49-7hhr issue — the fix simply patched the attribute() entry point and missed the style() sibling.
