CVE-2021-46872 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:10 nim.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nim package and not the nim package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue was discovered in Nim before 1.6.2. The RST module of the Nim language stdlib, as used in NimForum and other products, permits the javascript: URI scheme and thus can lead to XSS in some applications. (Nim versions 1.6.2 and later are fixed; there may be backports of the fix to some earlier versions. NimForum 2.2.0 is fixed.)
