CVE-2026-53964: Document Merge Service vulnerable to RCE via SSTI (xlsx tempaltes)

August 19, 2026

A remote code execution (RCE) via server-side template injection (SSTI) allows for user supplied code to be executed in the server’s context where it is executed as the document-merge-server user with the UID 901 thus giving an attacker considerable control over the container. The vulnerability is limited to XLSX templates, were the xltpl library uses a npn-sandboxed Jinja environment for the processing of the template.
