Machine-written summary

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

Alkacon OpenCMS (org.opencms:opencms-core) versions 14.0.0 up to 16.0.0 are affected by a cross-site scripting flaw in the Mercury template. A remote attacker can send a victim a crafted JavaScript payload, which may partly let them take control of the victim's browsing session. The source gives few details about the exact trigger. Upgrade to version 16.0.0 or later, which contains the fix.
