Description#
Using ’template.JS()’ with formatted or concatenated strings can embed unescaped user-controlled data directly into JavaScript code. This makes it easy for attackers to inject malicious scripts if any part of the data comes from untrusted sources.
Impact#
If exploited, attackers could execute arbitrary JavaScript in users’ browsers (Cross-Site Scripting), leading to data theft, account compromise, or manipulation of application behavior. This can damage user trust and expose sensitive information.
