NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream terraform-1.7 package and not the terraform-1.7 package as distributed by Chainguard.

Text nodes not in the HTML namespace are incorrectly literally rendered, causing text which should be escaped to not be. This could lead to an XSS attack.
