AI-suggested
A fix is available in Decidim version 0.30.9. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. As a workaround, restrict admin permissions to trusted users only to prevent untrusted users from injecting malicious scripts. No other mitigations are specifically indicated.
Description
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Decidim core versions prior to 0.30.9. A privileged admin user who can edit landing pages can inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript into an HTML content block. This content is rendered without sanitization, allowing script execution in visitors' browsers. Exploitation requires admin-level permissions, reducing practical risk compared to participant-controlled or unauthenticated XSS. A patch is available in Decidim version 0.30.9.
