Summary
GeoNode, a geospatial content management system, has a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the abstract field of document metadata. An attacker who can log in with low privileges can remotely plant scripts there that run in another user's browser when that user opens the document page, which requires that user to take an action.

Read the original description
GeoNode is a geospatial content management system, a platform for the management and publication of geospatial data. Prior to 5.0.3, document abstract metadata is stored without sanitization, allowing a low-privileged remote user to persist arbitrary HTML and JavaScript that executes in another user's browser when the document page is visited. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.3.
