CVE-2026-8152

Unblu Spark Open Redirect leading to DOM-Based XSS

Published Jul 22, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Unblu Spark contains an open redirect vulnerability that can be escalated to a DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.


When Unblu Spark is deployed with com.unblu.identifier.siteEmbeddedSetup=true, it runs in the same origin as the host application. Any JavaScript injected through this vulnerability therefore executes with full access to the host application's cookies, DOM, and same-origin APIs — an attacker can reach all resources of the host application, not just Unblu's. This expanded blast radius is the reason on-premises deployments using this configuration are rated CRITICAL.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

In the fix versions listed above, Unblu Spark validates all user-supplied redirects through the same redirect filter. After upgrading, please review your redirect filter configuration. The defaults restrict redirects to the current origin (document.location.origin).


Vendor Workaround

If you cannot upgrade immediately, either of the following measures prevents exploitation: * Enable the built-in Content Security Policy by setting com.unblu.contentsecuritypolicy.mode=on. The CSP blocks the injected JavaScript from executing and prevents the exploit from succeeding. Note: this protection is only effective on Unblu Spark 7.56.2 or later in the 7.x series and 8.19.1 or later in the 8.x series, where unsafe-inline was removed from the script source policy. Earlier versions ship a CSP that still permits unsafe-inline and are not protected by this workaround. * Configure a WAF rule to block requests that carry a malicious payload in the redirectOnFailure parameter (in particular, values containing a javascript: scheme or obfuscated variants such as java%0ascript:).
