Withdrawn Advisory: Stored Cross-site scripting affecting automad/automad
Withdrawn Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because only the main admin with the highest level of privilege can provide input, and there are no users other than the admin from whom data could be stolen. This link is maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
