PYSEC-2026-1253
CKAN has Cross-site Scripting vector in the Datatables view plugin
Quick fix
PYSEC-2026-1253 — ckan: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'ckan>=2.10.5'Details
The [Datatables view plugin](https://docs.ckan.org/en/2.10/maintaining/data-viewer.html#datatables-view) did not properly escape record data coming from the DataStore, leading to a potential XSS vector.
### Impact Sites running CKAN >= 2.7.0 with the `datatables_view` plugin activated. This is a plugin included in CKAN core, that not activated by default but it is widely used to preview tabular data.
### Patches This vulnerability has been fixed in CKAN 2.10.5 and 2.11.0
### Workarounds Prevent importing of tabular files to the DataStore via DataPusher, XLoader,etc, at least those published from untrusted sources.
