Title
Decidim has a Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via user name field
Summary
Decidim is a participatory democracy framework. In versions below 0.30.5 and 0.31.0.rc1 through 0.31.0, a stored code execution vulnerability in the user name field allows a low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of any user who passively visits a comment page, resulting in high confidentiality and integrity impact across security boundaries. This issue has been fixed in versions 0.30.5 and 0.31.1.
