Summary

flaskBlog is a blog app built with Flask. In versions 2.8.1 and prior, improper sanitization of postContent when submitting POST requests to /createpost leads to arbitrary JavaScript execution (XSS) on all pages the post is reflected on including /, /post/[ID], /admin/posts, and /user/[ID] of the user that made the post. At time of publication, there are no public patches available.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
