Improper handling of special tags within script contexts in html/template
Quick fix
GO-2023-2043 — stdlib: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
go get stdlib@v1.20.8Details
The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of "<script", "<!--", and "</script" within JS literals in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly consider script contexts to be terminated early, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This could be leveraged to perform an XSS attack.
