CVE-2026-55649: GeoNode has Stored XSS in Documents metadata abstract field

Prior to 5.0.3, document abstract metadata is stored without sanitization, allowing a low-privileged remote user to persist arbitrary HTML and JavaScript that executes in another user's browser when the document page is visited. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.3.
