CVSS 3.1
9.9 criticalCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:LCVE-2024-42515
Critical (9.9). EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Glossarizer through 1.5.2 improperly tries to convert text into HTML. Even though the application itself escapes special characters (e.g., <>), the underlying library converts these encoded characters into legitimate HTML, thereby possibly causing stored XSS. Attackers can append a XSS payload to a word that has a corresponding glossary entry.
