CVE-2026-32278 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in Connect-CMS affecting 1.x versions through 1.41.0 and 2.x versions through 2.41.0. The issue is in the Form Plugin's file field, which allows user-supplied files to be uploaded through public-facing forms. Based on the provided context, the application does not enforce a strict whitelist of safe file extensions and permits dangerous file types such as HTML to be uploaded and stored. Prior to the patch, uploaded .html files could be served inline by the application rather than forced to download, allowing embedded JavaScript to execute when the file was opened. The vulnerability is therefore described as stored XSS, while the underlying weakness is classified as unrestricted upload of a file with a dangerous type (CWE-434).
