CVE-2026-40470

A critical XSS vulnerability affected hackage-server and hackage.haskell.org. HTML and JavaScript files provided in source packages or via the documentation upload facility were served as-is on the main hackage.haskell.org domain. As a consequence, when a user with latent HTTP credentials browses to the package pages or documentation uploaded by a malicious package maintainer, their session can be hijacked to upload packages or documentation, amend maintainers or other package metadata, or perform any other action the user is authorised to do.
