The notifications feature fails to sanitize user-supplied URL input before rendering it in a browser context, allowing reflected XSS. An authenticated attacker with notification creation permission can craft a malicious notification target URL that executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser session. This requires user interaction (clicking the notification link) and prior authentication.
