Packages

Ecosystem	Package	Affected	Fixed in
PyPI	mako	< 0.3.4	0.3.4

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

Mako before 0.3.4 relies on the cgi.escape function in the Python standard library for cross-site scripting (XSS) protection, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct XSS attacks via vectors involving single-quote characters and a JavaScript onLoad event handler for a BODY element.
