Title: Contao Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (Cross-site Scripting) Vulnerability
Overview:

Contao is an open source content management system. Starting in version 4.0.0 and prior to versions 4.9.42 4.13.28 and 5.1.10 it is possible for untrusted backend users to inject malicious code into headline fields in the back end which will be executed both in the element preview (back end) and on the website (front end). Installations are only affected if there are untrusted back end users who have the rights to modify headline fields or other fields using the input unit widget. Contao 4.9.42 4.13.28 and 5.1.10 have a patch for this issue. As a workaround disable the login for all untrusted back end users.
