Trivy's own label is CRITICAL. Rated critical by Ruby Advisory DB.

Description

An improper input sanitization vulnerability in the Page Properties menu node rendering allows Author-level users to inject stored JavaScript that executes in an Admin's browser when they open the Configure dialog for a page containing the malicious node. The payload executes with the Admin's session privileges, allowing an attacker to perform administrative actions and create an attacker-controlled administrator account, resulting in full account takeover and privilege escalation.
