    ๐Ÿ”’ Security issue disclosure

    Joe Thorpe from Secarma disclosed an XSS issue that was inadvertently
    ๐Ÿ›  fixed in 2.5.0 by another bug fix. Tracks previously rendered XSS content
    in the user's own data. The content is only shown to the user themself,
    which mitigates the vulnerability in the normal use case where a single
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ user account is only used by one person. The CVSS rating for self-XSS is
    debatable and thus is not published for this issue.

    I want to thank Joe for reporting the issue and for the insightful discussion
    regarding the issue. Thanks to the disclosure there is now also a written
    ๐Ÿ”’ security policy for the project.

    ๐Ÿ› Bug fixes

    • โž• Adding actions in the context view fixed
    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed the recurring todo UI
