CVE-2026-55879 openreplay CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations using OpenReplay's self-hosted session replay suite, particularly those with version 1.24.0 or earlier, should be aware of this critical vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to dashboard accounts.

Technical summary

The OpenReplay tracking SDK, used in versions 1.24.0 to before 1.25.0, does not properly encode custom event names and captured page URLs. These are stored in ClickHouse and later rendered in the authenticated dashboard without proper encoding. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by storing malicious scripts that execute in the dashboard context, allowing for JWT theft and dashboard account takeover.

Defensive priority

High priority should be given to updating OpenReplay to version 1.25.0 or later. In the meantime, organizations should monitor their OpenReplay instances for suspicious activity and consider implementing additional security measures to protect against potential exploitation.

Recommended defensive actions

• Update OpenReplay to version 1.25.0 or later
• Monitor OpenReplay instances for suspicious activity
• Implement additional security measures to protect against potential exploitation
• Review and update security configurations for OpenReplay
• Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
