Risk Assessment
The cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affected blog post content shown on dashboards using the news module. If the attacker is allowed to create/edit blog posts that are then added to the dashboard news module rotation, a potential script could be triggered. XSS vulnerabilities potentially allow an attacker to embed their own JavaScript into a Confluence blog post.
