CVE-2024-42515
Last modified
CVE-2024-42515 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.9/10 on the CVSS scale. 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. EPSS estimates a 0.46% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
