Vulnerabilities
- Medium 4.4
CVE-2026-3362admin≤ 2.2
Short Comment Filter <= 2.2 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'Minimum Count' Setting
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).
