Election question titles allow stored script execution

Published Sep 15, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.8 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Decidim is a participatory democracy framework. Prior to 0.32.0, a low-privilege process-scoped administrator or election editor with question-management rights can store HTML or script-bearing content in question.body. The question_title helper returns the translatable question body through html_safe without a sanitization boundary, causing stored script execution when visitors open public election pages or voting booth screens. The persisted script executes in visitors' browsers. The vulnerability is fixed in 0.32.0.
