Shaarli is a personal bookmarking service. Versions prior to 0.16.3 are vulnerable to stored XSS in `application/front/controller/visitor/BookmarkListController.php`. The `permalink` handler concatenates the raw `$bookmark->getTitle()` into the `pagetitle` template variable and the RainTPL template emits it into the document `<title>` element without HTML escaping. A bookmark title containing `</title><script>...</script>` closes the document title early and the injected script executes in the Shaarli origin for any visitor of `/shaare/{hash}`. Shaarli's metadata fetcher copies a remote page's `<title>` text verbatim into the local bookmark title, so an attacker who hosts an attacker-controlled URL and convinces an administrator to bookmark it plants the payload with no further interaction — and the resulting permalink fires for every visitor including the administrator on first save, providing a one-shot administrator account takeover. Version 0.16.3 fixes the issue.
