Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Textpattern (aka Txp CMS) 4.0.5 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the PATH_INFO to setup/index.php or (2) the name parameter to index.php in the comments preview section.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Textpattern 4.0.5 had multiple cross-site scripting issues. A remote attacker could inject script or HTML through setup path handling or the comment preview name field. This can affect visitor trust and administrator safety if an exposed site still runs this old CMS version. Exposure is most likely on legacy Textpattern 4.0.5 sites, especially if setup files remain reachable or public comment preview functionality is enabled. Modern or upgraded Textpattern deployments are not confirmed affected by the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy CMS hygiene issue unless Textpattern 4.0.5 is internet-facing. If exposed, prioritize remediation because XSS can damage site integrity and user trust even without evidence of active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Inventory any Textpattern deployments and identify version 4.0.5 instances.; Review Textpattern 4.0.6 vendor release guidance for the relevant security fix.; Apply vendor-supported updates where the guidance confirms applicability..
