Description

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

- Mezzanine CMS, in versions prior to 6.1.1, contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in
the admin interface. The vulnerability exists in the "displayable_links_js" function, which fails to
properly sanitize blog post titles before including them in JSON responses served via

"/admin/displayable_links.js" endpoint, causing the malicious script to execute in their browser.
