CVE-2024-27091: GeoNode: Stored XSS to full account takeover

July 13, 2026

An issue exists within GEONODE where the current rich text editor is vulnerable to Stored XSS. The applications cookies are set securely, but it is possible to retrieve a victims CSRF token and issue a request to change another user’s email address to perform a full account takeover. Due to the script element not impacting the CORS policy, requests will succeed.
