attacks.

sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation requires that the victim uses the system
hosting the application.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 9.0.1.274733. Other
versions may also be affected.

the application.
