CVE-2023-24539: Improper sanitization of CSS values in html/template

First published: Sun May 07 2023(Updated: )

Angle brackets (<>) were not considered dangerous characters when inserted into CSS contexts. Templates containing multiple actions separated by a '/' character could result in unexpectedly closing the CSS context and allowing for injection of unexpected HMTL, if executed with untrusted input.
