AI-suggested

Upgrade Winter CMS to version 1.2.14 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

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.
