Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Backdrop CMS 1.23.0 – Post Body Field
An attacker can exploit a stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Backdrop CMS 1.23.0 by inserting malicious scripts into the body of a post. By crafting a specific payload and saving the post, the attacker can execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users' browsers.
Mitigation:
