medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 447860

Description

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

 - Decidim is a participatory democracy framework. Prior to 0.32.0, a low-privilege process-scoped
 administrator or election editor with question-management rights can store HTML or script-bearing content
 in question.body. The question_title helper returns the translatable question body through html_safe
 without a sanitization boundary, causing stored script execution when visitors open public election pages
 or voting booth screens. The persisted script executes in visitors' browsers. The vulnerability is fixed
 in 0.32.0. (CVE-2026-44282)

Solution

Update the decidim-elections library and its related packages to version 0.32.0 or later.
