Technical details

The note editor module in PROTECTELMAJ and BDF fails to sanitize user-supplied HTML and JavaScript before storage and rendering. A low-privileged authenticated user can inject arbitrary scripts into notes; when other users access the note editor, the malicious payload executes in their browser context. This is a stored (persistent) XSS vulnerability requiring authentication but no special privileges beyond standard user access.
