  - Dolibarr 11.0.3 contains a persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability in LDAP synchronization settings
    that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts through multiple parameters. Attackers can exploit the
    host, slave, and port parameters in /dolibarr/admin/ldap.php to execute arbitrary JavaScript and
    potentially steal user cookie information. (CVE-2020-36966)
