Summary
Koalixcrm through 1.14.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the Django admin task views. The Task.link_to_task() function renders malicious task titles without escaping, so a staff user can store script that runs when administrators open the task changelist or change form. An attacker with low privileges and user interaction by an administrator can use this to perform actions such as creating a superuser.
