medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412328

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Flarum is an open source discussion platform. Flarum's page title system allowed for page titles to be
 converted into HTML DOM nodes when pages were rendered. The change was made after `v1.5` and was not
 noticed. This allowed an attacker to inject malicious HTML markup using a discussion title input, either
 by creating a new discussion or renaming one. The XSS attack occurs after a visitor opens the relevant
 discussion page. All communities running Flarum from `v1.5.0` to `v1.6.1` are impacted. The vulnerability
 has been fixed and published as flarum/core `v1.6.2`. All communities running Flarum from `v1.5.0` to
 `v1.6.1` have to upgrade as soon as possible to v1.6.2. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
