Technical details
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the AIL framework's modal item preview functionality. The root cause is a failure to explicitly set a 'text/plain' content type when processing item content exceeding 800 characters, leading browsers to perform MIME-sniffing and execute the content as active HTML. An attacker with the ability to inject content into the framework can store malicious JavaScript that executes when an authenticated user views the crafted item's preview. This vulnerability is addressed in version 6.8.
