Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Kestra versions before 1.3.24 are vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting through the custom [[link]] Markdown syntax, which lets attacker-controlled attributes, including JavaScript event handlers, reach the rendered HTML. An attacker who can create or edit a Flow description can store the payload, and it runs in the browser of another user who views the Flow list or opens the description panel. Upgrade to Kestra 1.3.24 or later, which contains the fix.
