Real-World Exposure

Description
This security advisory fixes a severe vulnerability in the eZ Platform Admin UI, and we recommend that you install it as soon as possible. Parts of the Admin UI are vulnerable to XSS injection. All 2.x sites are at risk, and particularly those that allow user generated content. The update adds the necessary escaping of injected code. This resolves the issue both for code that has already been injected, and any future such code.
To install, use Composer to update "ezsystems/ezplatform-admin-ui" and "ezsystems/ezplatform-page-builder" to one of the "Resolving versions" mentioned above. (ezplatform-page-builder exists only in eZ Platform Enterprise Edition.)

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ezsystems/ezplatform-admin-ui, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update ezsystems/ezplatform-admin-ui to 1.3.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q73v-79x3-jv2w 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.
