Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. Prior to 2.33.0, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Login Page due to improper sanitization of the authLoginCustomMessage field of the /api/auth-settings endpoint. An attacker with administrative privileges can inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript that will be rendered on the login page for all users. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.33.0.
