Problem
It has been discovered that the Form Designer backend module of the Form Framework is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. A valid backend user account with access to the form module is needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Solution
Update to TYPO3 versions 10.4.14 or 11.1.1 that fix the problem described.
Credits
Thanks to Richie Lee who reported this issue and to TYPO3 framework merger Andreas Fernandez who fixed the issue.

Is GHSA-x79j-wgqv-g8h2 in any of your client repos?
Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected typo3/cms-form, and gives you the command that fixes it.
