As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Stored XSS via Entry Type names. The name is not sanitized when displayed in the Entry Types list.
---
## Proof of Concept
### Required Permissions (Attacker)
- Admin access (only admins have access to the settings page)
- `allowAdminChanges` is enabled in production, which is against our [security recommendations](https://craftcms.com/knowledge-base/securing-craft).
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Log in as an attacker.
2. Go to **Settings** -> **Entry Types** (`/admin/settings/entry-types`).
3. Create a new Entry Type.
4. Set **Name** to:
```html
<img src=x onerror="alert('XSS-EntryTypes')" hidden>
```
5. Save the Entry Type, and you’ll be redirected back to the entry types table automatically.
6. Notice the alert fires when the entry types table renders.
