What is CVE-2019-14769?
CVE-2019-14769 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in n/a, published on 8 Aug 2019. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Backdrop CMS 1.12.x before 1.12.8 and 1.13.x before 1.13.3 doesn't sufficiently filter output when displaying certain block labels created by administrators. An attacker could potentially craft a specialized label, then have an administrator execute scripting when administering a layout. (This issue is mitigated by the attacker needing permission to create custom blocks on the site, which is typically an administrative permission.)
