URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2023-0014.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 8
CVE: CVE-2018-25047

It was discovered that there was a potential cross-site scripting
vulnerability in smarty3, a widely-used PHP templating engine.

In Smarty before 3.1.47 and 4.x before 4.2.1,
libs/plugins/function.mailto.php allows XSS. A web page that uses
smarty_function_mailto, and that could be parameterized using GET or POST
input parameters, could allow injection of JavaScript code by a user.
