  "details": "### Summary\nThe fix for GHSA-vgjm-2cpf-4g7c (DOM-based XSS via milestone selection) was only applied to `templates/repo/issue/view_content.tmpl` but not to `templates/repo/issue/new_form.tmpl`. An attacker can store an HTML/JavaScript payload in a milestone name, and when any user opens the New Issue page and interacts with the milestone dropdown, the payload executes in their browser via Semantic UI\u0027s `preserveHTML` behavior.\n\n### Details\nGHSA-vgjm-2cpf-4g7c was patched by adding `| Sanitize` (bluemonday HTML tag stripping) to milestone name rendering in `view_content.tmpl`. However, the same milestone dropdown exists in `new_form.tmpl` and was **not** patched.\n\nIn `new_form.tmpl`, milestone names are rendered with Go\u0027s default auto-escaping (`{{.Name}}`), which converts `\u003c` to `\u0026lt;` etc. This prevents direct HTML injection. However, when the browser renders the DOM, the text content of the element contains the **decoded** original payload (e.g., `\u003cimg src=x onerror=alert(1)\u003e`).\n\nSemantic UI 2.4.2\u0027s dropdown component has `preserveHTML: true` as the default setting. When a user selects a dropdown item, the internal `set.text()` method calls jQuery\u0027s `.html()` with the item\u0027s text content. This re-parses the decoded text as HTML, creating the injected element and triggering the JavaScript event handler.\n\n### PoC\n[poc.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/26508268/poc.zip)\nPlease extract the uploaded compressed file before proceeding\n\n1. docker compose up --build\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1325\" height=\"315\" alt=\"\u1109\u1173\u110f\u1173\u1105\u1175\u11ab\u1109\u1163\u11ba 2026-04-06 \u110b\u1169\u1112\u116e 9 34 05\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/87895cce-5b8e-4320-829a-87a5890cc0d9\" /\u003e\n\n### Impact\n- Stored DOM XSS: Any user with write access to a repository can create a malicious milestone. Any other user who visits the New Issue page and interacts with the milestone dropdown will have arbitrary JavaScript executed in their browser session.\n- Session hijacking: The attacker can steal session cookies, perform actions as the victim, or escalate privileges.",
