Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2026-27694 impacting traccar traccar. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 5.4 (MEDIUM).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
Traccar is an open source GPS tracking system. In org.traccar:traccar versions starting at 6.11.1 before 6.13.0, the email notification templates insert user-controlled device, geofence, and driver names into HTML email output without proper escaping. An attacker with low privileges can store crafted HTML in these fields, which is then rendered in notification emails sent to other users with access to the affected devices. This can lead to phishing or spoofed email content. This issue is fixed in version 6.13.0.
