Machine-written summary

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

PlantUML (net.sourceforge.plantuml:plantuml) versions before 1.2026.0 are vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting through insufficient sanitization of interactive attributes in GraphViz diagrams. An attacker who supplies a crafted diagram can inject JavaScript into the generated SVG, which then runs in the context of any application that renders it. Upgrade to version 1.2026.0 or later.
