MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 0.19%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.19%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Mahara before 25.04.2 and 24.04.11 are vulnerable to displaying results that can trigger XSS via a malicious search query string. This occurs in the 'search site' feature when using the Elasticsearch7 search plugin. The Elasticsearch function does not properly sanitize input in the query parameter.
