Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary script in the exported HTML board view.

The vulnerability exists due to cross-site scripting in addBoardHTMLToZip() when processing entity-encoded card titles during HTML export and card click handling. A remote user can create a card with specially crafted entity-encoded markup in its title to execute arbitrary script in the exported HTML board view.

User interaction is required to open the exported HTML file and click the crafted card title. Script execution occurs in the downloaded export rather than the Wekan HTTP origin.
