  - Dolibarr ERP-CRM 14.0.2 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the ticket creation module
    that allows low-privilege users to inject malicious scripts. Attackers can craft a specially designed
    ticket message with embedded JavaScript that triggers when an administrator copies the text, potentially
    enabling privilege escalation. (CVE-2021-47779)
