CVE-2023-39318

Description

The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like "" comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of <script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS attack.

Affected products

• Go standard library / html/template0 – 1.20.8
• Go standard library / html/template1.21.0-0 – 1.21.1
