Readycheck to confirm it

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Global Entities feature (/index.php?module=entities/entities) of Rukovoditel v3.2.1 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Name parameter after clicking "Add New Entity".

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute malicious scripts in the context of the victim's browser, leading to potential data theft, session hijacking, or defacement of the affected application.
