Summary
In Zinc, versions v0.1.9 through v0.3.1 are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting when using the delete user functionality. When an authenticated user deletes a user having a XSS payload in the user id field, the javascript payload will be executed and allow an attacker to access the user’s credentials.
