CVE-2025-53541
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedTuleap is an Open Source Suite created to facilitate management of software development and collaboration. In Tuleap Community Edition prior to version 16.9.99.1751892857 and Tuleap Enterprise Edition prior to 16.8-5 and 16.9-3, malicious users with some control over certain artifacts could insert malicious code when displaying the children of a parent artifact to force victims to execute the uncontrolled code. This is fixed in version Tuleap Community Edition prior to version 16.9.99.1751892857 and Tuleap Enterprise Edition prior to 16.8-5 and 16.9-3.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisUntrusted input is placed into a web page without being neutralised, so an attacker's markup or script executes in another user's browser. That can hijack sessions, capture keystrokes, or silently perform actions as the victim. Fixing it properly means context-aware output encoding everywhere data meets HTML, backed by a content-security policy as a second line of defence.
