The org.geoserver:gs-wms package, which provides the WMS OpenLayers output format in GeoServer, is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting in versions before 2.23.3 and from 2.24.0 before 2.24.1. An authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges can store a JavaScript payload in the catalog that runs in other users' browsers when they view it through the WMS GetMap OpenLayers format.
