Description
Reflected XSS on demo.microweber.org/demo/module/ in GitHub repository microweber/microweber prior to 1.2.15. Execute Arbitrary JavaScript as the attacked user. It's the only payload I found working, you might need to press "tab" but there is probably a paylaod that runs without user interaction.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for microweber/microweber, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update microweber/microweber to 1.2.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9w7h-3wwh-6m5q is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
