Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Search Autocomplete module versions prior to 7.x-4.8

Description: The issue arises from insufficient filtering of user-entered text among autocompletion items, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability can be exploited by any user allowed to create one of the autocompletion items, such as nodes, users, or comments.
