CVE-2026-48157: Slim has Reflected XSS in the HtmlErrorRenderer

June 23, 2026

If an application uses HttpException::setTitle() and/or setDescription() to include untrusted/request-derived data in the error title or description (e.g. "No products found matching '{$query}'."), an attacker could inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript that executes in the victim’s browser when they encounter an HTML error page generated by Slim.

The vulnerability is present even with displayErrorDetails = false as the unescaped title and description are rendered on this error path.

Built-in exceptions (HttpNotFoundException, HttpBadRequestException, etc.) ship plain-text defaults, so a vanilla Slim app with no user code is not exploitable. Only applications that feed untrusted data into setTitle() and/or setDescription() are affected.
