About Emxtecnologia Gestao X Business Suite
CVE-2026-79418 affects Emxtecnologia Gestao X Business Suite, a product from Emxtecnologia. Before acting, confirm where Emxtecnologia Gestao X Business Suite runs in your estate, who owns it and whether it is reachable from the internet, because exposure decides real risk more than the score alone.
What the flaw is
In plain terms: EMX Tecnologia Gestao X version <= 8.4 contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Help Chat functionality. Improper neutralization of user-controlled input during web page generation allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other authenticated users, potentially resulting in session hijacking, account takeover, and unauthorized actions.
The weakness class is Cross Site Scripting. Attacker supplied script runs in another user's browser inside the trusted site.
Based on its CVSS vector, the flaw can be reached over the network, needs some level of access, and relies on a user taking an action. Apply the vendor fix and confirm exposure on internet facing and business critical assets first.

Related CVEs
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in EMX Tecnologia Gestao X Business Suite 8.4 and earlier. The vulnerability is caused by insufficient validation and sanitization of the mensagem parameter in the /Configuracao/Imagens.aspx endpoint, allowing an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that is reflected and executed in the context of a victim's browser.
CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (Stored XSS) vulnerability exists in the backend user management functionality. The application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input before rendering it in the administrative interface, allowing attackers to inject persistent JavaScript code. This results in automatic execution whenever backend users access the affected page, enabling session hijacking, privilege escalation, and full administrative account compromise. This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0.
CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, the application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input when creating or editing blog categories. An attacker can inject a malicious JavaScript payload into the category title field, which is then stored server-side. This stored payload is later rendered unsafely across public-facing blog category pages, administrative interfaces, and blog post views without proper output encoding, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0.
Anchorr is a Discord bot for requesting movies and TV shows and receiving notifications when items are added to a media server. In versions 1.4.1 and below, a stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web dashboard's User Mapping dropdown allows any unprivileged Discord user in the configured guild to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the Anchorr admin's browser. By chaining this with the GET /api/config endpoint (which returns all secrets in plaintext), an attacker can exfiltrate every credential stored in Anchorr which includes DISCORD_TOKEN, JELLYFIN_API_KEY, JELLYSEERR_API_KEY, JWT_SECRET, WEBHOOK_SECRET, and bcrypt password hashes without any authentication to Anchorr itself. This issue has been fixed in version 1.4.2.
CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to 31.0.0.0, the application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input when users update their profile name (e.g., full name / username). An attacker can inject a malicious JavaScript payload into their profile name, which is then stored server-side. This stored payload is later rendered unsafely in multiple application views without proper output encoding, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). This vulnerability is fixed in 31.0.0.0.
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. Coolify versions prior to and including v4.0.0-beta.420.6 are vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack in the project creation workflow. An authenticated user with low privileges (e.g., member role) can create a project with a maliciously crafted name containing embedded JavaScript. When an administrator later attempts to delete the project or its associated resource, the payload automatically executes in the admin’s browser context. Version 4.0.0-beta.420.7 contains a patch for the issue.
