Summary
The Grav Guestbook plugin before 0.5.2 contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in its AJAX Load more and Admin Load all handlers, which insert stored author and message fields into the DOM as unescaped HTML via jQuery (CWE-79). An unauthenticated visitor can submit markup that runs in other visitors' browsers and, in versions 0.5.0 and 0.5.1, in administrator moderation sessions. The CVSS 4.0 vector requires user interaction.
