Cross-Site Scripting in mustache
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Versions of `mustache` prior to 2.2.1 are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability when attributes in mustache templates are not quoted.
### Example
Template:
```<a href={{foo}}/>```
Input:
```{ 'foo' : 'test.com onload=alert(1)'}```
Rendered result:
```<a href=test.com onload=alert(1)/>```
## Recommendation
Update to version 2.2.1 or later.
Alternatively, ensure that all attributes in hmustache templates are encapsulated with quotes.
