## How to fix

- Fixed in Commits 23adbb88ffa819f92be4a905ff1d812670d980a2 and 57b44a8bac0b250b0d5751e93e0349070d14606e in cachethq/core

## Technical details

A stored XSS vulnerability exists in the incident creation form's Name and Message fields, which do not properly sanitize HTML event handler attributes. Although &lt;script&gt; tags are filtered, event-based payloads such as &lt;img src=x onerror="..."&gt; bypass the protection. The vulnerability affects the /dashboard/incidents/ endpoint and requires authentication to inject; payloads execute when any user views the public status page. Commits 23adbb8 and 57b44a8 in cachethq/core patch the issue by sanitizing user-authored Markdown and stripping raw HTML.
