Cross-Site Scripting in backbone
Quick fix
GHSA-j6p2-cx3w-6jcp — backbone: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install backbone@0.5.0Details
Affected versions of `backbone` are vulnerable to cross-site scripting when users are allowed to supply input to the `Model#Escape` function, and the output is then written to the DOM.
The vulnerability occurs as a result of the regular expression used to encode metacharacters failing to take HTML Entities such as `<` into account.
## Recommendation
Update to version 0.5.0 or later.
