CVE-2023-26040
Between versions 3.1.0.beta2 and 3.1.0.beta3 of the `tests-passed` branch, editing or responding to a chat message containing malicious content could lead to a cross-site scripting attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
