# Ampache: song lyrics field lets uploaders run script in viewers' browsers

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-125395 (this .md is for agents)

Ampache before 8.4.0 does not escape song lyrics when it displays them, so HTML and script inside the lyrics are run by the browser. A user with upload rights can embed script in a song's lyrics ID3 tag, which then runs for anyone who views those lyrics.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the Ampache version in use; versions below `8.4.0` are affected.
- Review whether untrusted users hold upload rights, since those users can plant the payload.

## Fix

- Ampache: move to `8.4.0` or later, per the sources.

## Documents

- [advisory] Third-party advisory: www.vulncheck.com https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/ampache-before-8.4.0-stored-xss-via-song-lyrics-id3-tag
- [fix] Patch: github.com https://github.com/ampache/ampache/commit/94ab8461c6b28140d438ffce915ef645af73ef18
- [fix] Release notes: github.com https://github.com/ampache/ampache/releases/tag/8.4.0

## From the sources

Ampache before 8.4.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows users with upload rights to inject script through unescaped song lyrics in LyricsView.php getLyrics() and show_lyrics.inc.php. Attackers can upload a song whose lyrics ID3 tag contains HTML and script to execute code in the browser of any user viewing the lyrics.
