I've just received this "security email"

[pivari]

Hello,

I've just received this "security email", Is it true?

I am a security researcher reporting this vulnerability in good faith. This mail is for good deeds: to keep people secure, and to protect the living of patients, readers, and the people who run this medical-tech portal. It is not a threat.

I exploited CVE-2026-41456 on https://tech-med.it on 11 Sep 2026. https://tech-med.it/chi publishes the redazione mailboxes below.

Status: EXPLOITED — confirmed live. Unauthenticated reflected XSS in the paginator. /admin/ is on the public internet. Apache lists upload UUID trees and editor profile photos.

Fix: Bludit commit 6732dde or disable Search. Options -Indexes.

Exploit (reproduced today)
GET https://tech-med.it/search/%22%3E%3Cimg ... in)%3E.gif
→ HTTP 200 text/html
Raw HTML (paginator — this is the exploit):

<a class="page-link" href="https://tech-med.it/search/"><img src=1 onerror=alert(document.domain)>.gif?page=2">Pagina successiva ►</a>
Admin (unauthenticated GET):

GET https://tech-med.it/admin/
→ HTTP 200 Bludit login
Set-Cookie: __Secure-BLUDIT-KEY=c1ut7qa1lretgingani979skj8; path=/; secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax
HttpOnly stops document.cookie. It does not stop JavaScript from calling /admin/ if an editor opens the PoC while logged in.

Path Sample
/bl-content/uploads/ Tech-Med.it.png, pages/, profiles/, thumbnails/
/bl-content/uploads/pages/ 0d00330238a22ff300c6d3bd5b17b25b/, 0d7c63cc2d04f9a9354f57f8a2b5cc59/, 00513bfab98b91a52c8ae8cc7df21adb/ (dozens of UUID dirs)

/bl-plugins/ api/, disqus/, html-code/, hit-counter/
/bl-kernel/ login.class.php, admin/, ajax/
XSS as tech-med.it can overlay a fake “secure login for healthcare readers” on your real domain, or ride /admin/ if an editor clicks while logged in.

I did not log in and did not change pages.

Remediation
Patch Bludit (commit 6732dde) or disable Search
Options -Indexes
CSP; restrict /admin/
Rotate the admin password after patching

Yes, it is a valid report.

This vulnerability bug is fixed in v3.21.0.

Is your Bludit older than v3.21.0?

== Update ==

I checked your site and it is v3.22.0

This is theme problem. The theme is not updated to address recent issues.
