The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.9.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No patch or remediation details are provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Contributor-level access or higher to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected site. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of sensitive information or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of other users. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
