Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the public portal form component due to insufficient input neutralization. Unauthenticated attackers can submit crafted HTML/JavaScript markup that is stored and later rendered without proper sanitization when staff review the stored record. This requires user interaction (a staff member viewing the stored record) and impacts the confidentiality and integrity of staff sessions.
