12 BookStack v21.08.2 has been released. This security release is intended to cover a couple of XSS
13 vulnerabilities, where a malicious user with page edit access could enter script that would execute
14 upon page view. You should update as soon as possible if you allow untrusted users to edit content
17 In addition, this releases expands the [CSP headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP)
