Vulnerabilities
- Medium 4.4
CVE-2026-0693admin≤ 1.2.4
Allow HTML in Category Descriptions <= 1.2.4 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Category Descriptions
The access label is read from the record's own text (e.g. “subscriber+”: subscriber and above). When the text names no role, CVSS decides between “login required” and “high privilege”; no role name is invented. “Needs a click”: the attack depends on a logged-in user following a link (CSRF, reflected XSS).
