CVE-2026-54165 — Stored DOM-XSS in public shared-folder image gallery (one-click, unauthenticated victim)
Dobase is an open-source, self-hosted workspace with installable tools. Versions prior to 2026.06.03 have a one-click stored DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the public, unauthenticated shared-folder image gallery. A file's `name` is fully attacker-controlled and is never sanitized. It is round-tripped through an ERB-escaped `data-name` attribute, decoded back to its raw value by `el.dataset.name`, and then re-injected into `innerHTML` by the `public-gallery` Stimulus controller with no escaping. Any authenticated workspace member who can share a Files folder can store a payload; the victim is anyone with the public share link (no authentication required). The global Content-Security-Policy is sent report-only (not enforcing), so an inline `onerror` handler executes — this is an executing XSS, not a CSP-mitigated injection. Version 2026.06.03 fixes the issue.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.5% (30-day exploitation probability)+7
- Technical severity (medium)+3
- CISA SSVC: exploitation "poc"+5
- Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Smgdkngt Dobase).
- The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Exploitation requires user interaction: tighten email/web filtering and warn affected users.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (cross-site scripting), errors and authentication anomalies.
Affected scope
Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.

Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Monitor CSP violation reports and script payloads in reflected parameters.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-54165 is "Stored DOM-XSS in public shared-folder image gallery (one-click, unauthenticated victim)", rated Medium. It affects Dobase (Smgdkngt); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 6.4 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.55% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
