Unknown · Winter Cms · CVE-2023-52084
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Winter CMS versions prior to 1.2.4
**Description**
The issue affects users with access to backend forms that include a ColorPicker FormWidget, allowing them to provide a value that would then be rendered unescaped in the backend form, potentially leading to a stored XSS attack. Although the severity of this issue is relatively low, exploitation requires an attacker to have trusted access to the Winter CMS backend and convince a user with higher privileges to visit an affected form. The vulnerability has been patched in version 1.2.4.
**Recommendations**
For Winter CMS versions prior to 1.2.4, update to version 1.2.4 to ensure the system remains secure. As a temporary workaround, consider manually applying the patch from https://github.com/wintercms/winter/commit/517f65dfae679b57575b047de13c5af48915a5ba if unable to upgrade to version 1.2.4. Restrict access to backend forms that include the ColorPicker FormWidget to minimize the risk of exploitation.
