This issue affects all versions from n/a through 1.1.4.

Remote attackers without privileges can exploit this vulnerability over the network by tricking authenticated users into interacting with maliciously crafted inputs, such as links or forms that reflect unsanitized data back in the web page response. Successful exploitation executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser within the context of the affected site, potentially leading to limited impacts on confidentiality (e.g., session token theft), integrity (e.g., data modification), and availability.
