NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python27:2.7/python2-setuptools-wheel package and not the python27:2.7/python2-setuptools-wheel package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja xmlattr filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.
