Technical details and impact analysis
## Summary:
I have discovered an XSS vulnerability regarding the mod notes feature. Specifically, the XSS payload executes when the victim removes a post in a subreddit and opens up the mod notes of the attacker.
## Steps To Reproduce:
1. The attacker creates a new post with the title containing the XSS payload.
2. The victim (mods of the subreddit) then must remove your post.
3. The payload executes when a victim (subreddit mod) opens up your mod notes. Sometimes, the mod notes are displayed when the victim hovers on your profile (this is true when a recent mod action has been taken on the user).
