How the CVE Works:
CVE-2025-29573 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mezzanine CMS 6.0.0, specifically within the “View Entries” feature of the Forms module. Attackers can inject malicious JavaScript payloads into form submissions, which are then rendered unsanitized when an administrator views entries.
