CVE-2026-46361

<!-- PoC Concept: 1. Attacker logs in as an FAQ Editor. 2. Creates or edits a FAQ entry. 3. Injects the following payload into the 'Question' or 'Answer' field. The payload uses HTML entities to bypass strip_tags(), which is later decoded and rendered unsafely via |raw. --> &lt;img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)&gt; <!-- Explanation: - &lt; represents < - &gt; represents > - strip_tags() sees "&lt;...&gt;" as text and allows it. - html_entity_decode() converts it back to "<img...>". - Twig |raw filter outputs it directly, executing the JS. -->
