| 15 | + description: |- |
| 16 | + ## Description |
| 17 | +
|
| 18 | + A low-privilege process-scoped admin who can manage elections can |
| 19 | + store arbitrary HTML in the question statement/body without |
| 20 | + sanitization, and the public elections UI renders that value unsafely. |
| 21 | +
|
| 22 | + ## Impact |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | + A low-privilege process-scoped admin or other election editor with |
| 25 | + question-management rights can persist JavaScript that executes in |
| 26 | + visitor's browsers on public election pages and voting booth screens. |
