CVE-2026-23891: Decidim has a cross-site scripting (XSS) in user name

April 13, 2026 (updated May 13, 2026)

A stored code execution vulnerability in the user name field allows a low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of any user who passively visits a comment page, resulting in high confidentiality and integrity impact across security boundaries.
