Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Stored cross-site scripting in the lightrag-hku package affects versions before 1.5.5. The LightRAG WebUI renders chat answers as raw HTML, so an attacker who can add a document can store a script that runs in the browser of a user who later retrieves that answer, such as an administrator, and may steal authentication tokens. Upgrade to lightrag-hku 1.5.5 or later. The source gives no other workaround.
