Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Editor-level or higher access to inject stored malicious scripts into pages via the 'Icon CSS Class' category field. These scripts execute in the context of other users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or other confidentiality breaches. There is no impact on integrity or availability reported. The vulnerability requires elevated privileges (Editor or higher) and does not require user interaction to trigger the script execution.
