Machine-written summary

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

Contao's comments bundle (contao/comments-bundle) versions from 4.0.0 before 5.3.50, and from 5.4.0-RC1 before 5.7.12, is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. An unauthenticated front end visitor can submit a comment containing script that runs in the back end when a back end user opens the Comments module, even if the comment is unpublished, and the script could then act with that user's privileges. Upgrade to version 5.3.50 or 5.7.12, which are the fixed versions listed.
