Unknown · Seraphinite Accelerator · CVE-2026-17532
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Seraphinite Accelerator versions prior to 2.29.16
**Description**
Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages by tricking a user into clicking a specially crafted link. This occurs via the 'seraph accel prep' parameter. The issue stems from the `CacheExtractPreparePageParams()` function using a loose inequality operator (!=) to compare an expected HMAC string against a JSON-decoded `nonce` value; providing a JSON boolean true allows the signature check to be bypassed. Additionally, the ` CbContentFinishSkip()` function fails to properly escape output, directly concatenating the attacker-controlled `selfTest` field into the HTML response body.
**Recommendations**
Update to a version newer than 2.29.15.
