Smart Manager post fields permit contributor stored XSS
Smart Manager before 8.92.0 lets a Contributor store attacker-controlled markup in a post field that is later rendered inside an HTML attribute in the management grid. The payload executes when an administrator or other privileged user views the affected grid row. The CNA record does not identify the post field, request parameter or rendering function.
