CVE-2026-42842: grav-plugin-form: XSS via Taxonomy Field Values in Admin Panel

Description

The form plugin for Grav adds the ability to create and use forms. Prior to 9.1.0, a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Grav CMS Form plugin's select field template. Taxonomy tag and category values are rendered with the Twig |raw filter in the admin panel, bypassing the global autoescape protection. An editor-level user can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in any administrator's browser session when they view or edit any page in the admin panel. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.1.0.
