CVE-2026-39379: GeoNetwork has reflected XSS through client-side template injection

July 1, 2026 (updated July 2, 2026)

It is possible to craft a URL that causes GeoNetwork to reflect attacker-controlled content into an error page in a way that gets evaluated as a client-side template expression. Combined with known AngularJS sandbox-escape techniques, this can be used to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim’s browser (reflected Cross-Site Scripting via client-side template injection).
