    Improved: Reflected XSS in content component (OFBIZ-11840)
   
    Fixes a Reflected XSS vulnerability in content component
   
    Harshit Shukla reported it to the OFBiz security team:
    https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/content/control/stream?contentId="><svg/onload=alert(0)>
   
    It's a post-auth vulnerability so we did not ask for a CVE.
   
    Thanks: Harshit Shukla [hidden email]
