Contao is an open source content management system. Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to versions 4.13.40 and 5.3.4, it is possible to inject CSS styles via BBCode in comments. Installations are only affected if BBCode is enabled. Contao versions 4.13.40 and 5.3.4 have a patch for this issue. As a workaround, disable BBCode for comments.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
