About Solidus
Solidus admin 0.4.1 closes a stored XSS on a customer page.
The one tracked Solidus release is a security patch to solidus_admin, the newer admin interface. Product names, variant options and SKUs were rendered as raw HTML on a customer's Items Purchased page, allowing stored cross-site scripting; 0.4.1 escapes them.
