CVE-2026-27693

traccar allows XML injection in KML and GPX exports

Published May 5, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Traccar is an open source GPS tracking system. In org.traccar:traccar versions starting at 6.11.1 before 6.13.0, the KML and GPX export functionality writes device names to XML output without proper escaping. An attacker with low privileges can create a device with a crafted name that injects XML content into exported files. If another user exports and opens the affected KML or GPX file, this can corrupt the file structure and spoof exported location data. This issue is fixed in version 6.13.0.
