CVE-2026-1337

Insufficient escaping of unicode characters in query log in Neo4j Enterprise and Community editions prior to 2026.01 can lead to XSS if the user opens the logs in a tool that treats them as HTML. There is no security impact on Neo4j products, but this advisory is released as a precaution to treat the logs as plain text if using versions prior to 2026.01.

What this means for your business

  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, with an ordinary user login, but only after tricking someone into an action such as opening a file or a link.

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Neo4j, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
