Machine-written summary

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

The org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml package from 14.6-rc-1 before 14.10.4 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting through invalid data attribute names in its HTML sanitizer. An attacker can inject JavaScript via XWiki syntax in content such as comments, which runs when a user hovers over the link; if the user has programming rights, this can lead to server-side code execution. Upgrade to version 14.10.4 or later; no workarounds are listed.
