CVE-2026-66030 in Ekushey Project Manager CRM
Summary
by MITRE • 07/27/2026
Ekushey Project Manager CRM through version 5.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated client users to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript by entering malicious payloads into the Ticket Title field on the Create New Ticket page. Attackers can craft and store malicious scripts that execute in the browser sessions of Staff or Administrator users who view the Client Support page where ticket titles are rendered unsanitized.

This vulnerability represents a critical stored cross-site scripting flaw within the Ekushey Project Manager CRM system, specifically affecting version 5.0 and potentially earlier releases. The security weakness originates from inadequate input validation and output sanitization mechanisms implemented in the ticket creation functionality, where user-supplied data enters the application without proper filtering or encoding before being stored and subsequently rendered to other users' browsers. The vulnerability is particularly concerning because it affects authenticated client users who possess legitimate access credentials, enabling them to exploit this weakness through a relatively simple injection technique that requires no advanced privileges or specialized tools.
The technical exploitation occurs when an attacker inputs malicious HTML and JavaScript code into the Ticket Title field during ticket creation, which then gets stored in the application's database. When staff members or administrators subsequently view the client support page where these ticket titles are displayed without proper sanitization, their browsers execute the embedded malicious scripts within the context of their authenticated sessions. This creates a persistent threat vector that can be leveraged to steal session cookies, redirect users to malicious websites, perform unauthorized actions on behalf of victims, or extract sensitive information from the application's interface. The vulnerability aligns with CWE-79 which specifically addresses cross-site scripting flaws in web applications.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data theft or defacement, as it creates a persistent backdoor that can be exploited by attackers who maintain access to legitimate client accounts. Staff and administrative users who view the affected pages become unwitting participants in the attack execution, making this a particularly dangerous form of security breach that can remain undetected for extended periods. The vulnerability affects the core functionality of the CRM system's ticket management feature, potentially compromising all user sessions and creating opportunities for privilege escalation attacks. This represents a significant threat to business continuity and data integrity within organizations relying on the Ekushey Project Manager platform.
Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including comprehensive input validation and output encoding mechanisms throughout the application's codebase, particularly in areas where user-generated content is stored and displayed. The implementation of Content Security Policy headers can provide additional protection against script execution while proper sanitization libraries should be integrated into all data handling processes. Regular security audits and penetration testing should be conducted to identify similar vulnerabilities across other application components. Organizations utilizing this CRM system must also consider implementing multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts, monitor user activity logs for suspicious behavior patterns, and establish incident response procedures specifically designed to handle cross-site scripting attacks that may compromise user sessions and access credentials. These measures align with ATT&CK technique T1059.007 which covers scripting through web shells and command-line interfaces, and the broader category of persistent threats targeting authenticated user sessions in enterprise environments.
