CVE-2024-42515
CRITICALglossarizer <= 1.5.2 - Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Glossary Entry Injection
Title source: llmDescription
Glossarizer through 1.5.2 improperly tries to convert text into HTML. Even though the application itself escapes special characters (e.g., <>), the underlying library converts these encoded characters into legitimate HTML, thereby possibly causing stored XSS. Attackers can append a XSS payload to a word that has a corresponding glossary entry.
