Machine-written summary

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

Graylog server (org.graylog2:graylog2-server) versions before 6.2.0 are vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting through the Files plugin and the API browser. An attacker with the FILES_CREATE permission can upload JavaScript that runs in the Graylog frontend when a user requests the file in the API browser, allowing authenticated API requests as that user and session takeover. Upgrade to version 6.2.0 or later, where the affected generic API has been removed and additional escaping added.
