CVE-2026-46609 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Umbraco.Cms (nuget), affecting versions >= 14.0.0, <= 17.3.5. It is fixed in 17.4.0.
Impact Authenticated users are able to inject HTML vulnerability into an input field, which is rendered in the confirmation dialog without proper output encoding. Patches This issue has been patched in 17.4.0
Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.
CVE-2026-46609 has a CVSS score of 4.6 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
A fixed version is available (17.4.0). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Umbraco.Cms (>= 14.0.0, <= 17.3.5)Umbraco.Cms → 17.4.0 (nuget)Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.
Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2026-46609 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

Yes. CVE-2026-46609 is fixed in 17.4.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
Whether CVE-2026-46609 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
Upgrade Umbraco.Cms to 17.4.0 or later.
