Prior to version 2.2.0, Formwork CMS is susceptible to a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to inject unsanitized data into the blog tag field. When a user with administrative privileges accesses or edits an affected blog post, malicious scripts controlled by the attacker can be executed in their browser. This persistent vulnerability compromises vital administrative tasks and user safety, emphasizing the need for an immediate upgrade to version 2.2.0, where the issue has been addressed.
