CVE-2026-7186· NVD / CVE Program· CNA Checkmk

Fix stored XSS in URL dashboard widget via dangerous URI schemes

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.23% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Checkmk GmbH Checkmk 2.3.0p48, 2.4.0p31, 2.5.0p5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Checkmk GmbH Checkmk 2.3.0p48, 2.4.0p31, 2.5.0p5 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Stored cross-site scripting in the URL dashboard widget in Checkmk <2.5.0p5, <2.4.0p31, <2.3.0p48, and all 2.2.0 versions allows a user with dashboard editing permissions to store a URL with a dangerous URI scheme such as javascript: that executes scripts in other users' browsers when they view the dashboard.

Limit the impact of XSS

This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. A well-configured Content-Security-Policy doesn't fix it, but greatly reduces its impact. Check your site's CSP and other security headers for free.
