  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the tag deletion confirmation page (tag_delete.php)
    due to improper escaping of the tag name when displaying the confirmation message. An attacker can inject
    HTML and, if CSP settings permit, achieve execution of arbitrary JavaScript. (CVE-2026-33517)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
