Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability manifests in the Menu Blocks feature's input handling and rendering flow. The XSS occurs when: 1) User input containing 'ontoggle' handlers is accepted without proper sanitization in backend controllers (high confidence based on vulnerability pattern), and 2) The stored payload is rendered without output encoding in frontend templates (high confidence given the XSS trigger mechanism). The combination of insufficient input validation and unsafe output makes these components vulnerable.
