The vulnerability stems from missing output encoding when handling the 'sort key' parameter. The GitHub patch clearly shows the addition of htmlspecialchars() to sanitize $sortKey in InfoAction.php. The unpatched code directly injected $sortKey (from user-controllable DEFAULTSORT) into the page info table without escaping, creating an XSS vector. The function responsible for building this output (pageInfo()) is the clear vulnerability point.
