Description
Winter CMS versions prior to 1.2.14 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the backend CSS rendering functionality. The flaw arises because raw LESS compiler output is cached unsafely, allowing users with backend.manage_branding or backend.manage_editor permissions to inject malicious scripts that execute when other backend pages render the styles. These styles also appear on unauthenticated backend sign-in and password reset pages. The issue is resolved in version 1.2.14.
