GeoNode is a geospatial content management system, a platform for the management and publication of geospatial data. Prior to 5.0.3, document abstract metadata is stored without sanitization, allowing a low-privileged remote user to persist arbitrary HTML and JavaScript that executes in another user's browser when the document page is visited. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.3.
