PHOENIX LIVE VIEW PATCHES SCHEME VALIDATION BYPASS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Elixir & Phoenix

Phoenix LiveView 1.2.7 ships an emergency security fix for a scheme validation bypass that could let attackers inject malicious URLs into your application.

The LiveView team cut a release overnight to close CVE-2026-58228 [1], a vulnerability in Phoenix.LiveView.Utils that fails to properly validate URI schemes. This is the kind of silent killer that gets exploited in production before you notice it. The fix is in , and you need it before your next deploy. On the Elixir side, the core team landed a documentation fix for Process.dest() and Process.send/3 [2], tightening up specs that were causing confusion in the typechecker. LiveView also reverted a recent commit and added test coverage [3] to prevent regression. Minor stuff compared to the security hole, but worth noting if you're tracking every merge.
