GHSA-56v6-2fhr-wxgq: nautobot (CVE-2026-83801)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
nautobot	PyPI	<2.4.37 \|\| >=3.0.0, <3.1.8	2.4.37, 3.1.8

Machine-written summary

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

Nautobot versions before 2.4.37 and from 3.0.0 before 3.1.8 are affected by a stored cross-site scripting flaw in object create and edit form help text. A user with add or change permission for Relationships or Module Families can store a script that runs in the browser of any user who opens an affected form, including administrators, potentially allowing actions as the victim. Upgrade to Nautobot 2.4.37 or 3.1.8. There is no configuration-only workaround; restricting those permissions and removing existing malicious values reduce the risk.
