Description Andrej Nemec 2016-11-09 04:47:10 EST

Sanket Jagtap of Red Hat reports: 

If an organization or location is created with a name containing HTML,
then the administrator-only Settings page will render the HTML as part
of a dropdown menu.

This may permit a stored XSS attack if an organization/location with
HTML in the name is created, then an administrator attempts to change
the default organization/location settings.
