## Technical details

The vulnerability is a Stored XSS flaw in the List Field component caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript that persists in the database; execution occurs when an administrator accesses the entry detail view and clicks an attacker-supplied callback link. The attack leverages a delegated event handler in the admin JavaScript bundle that invokes the attacker's function reference.
