Technical details

Stored XSS vulnerability in IssueCommentSerializer (both app and API layers) and intake description endpoints. The comment_html and description_html fields were either not validated or only underwent structural normalization without XSS payload removal. An authenticated project member can craft and submit a comment or intake issue with JavaScript payloads (e.g., script tags or javascript: URIs) that persist and execute in victims' browser contexts. Fixed in version 1.4.0 by adding validate_html_content() sanitization using the nh3 HTML sanitizer.
