Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output via the RSS feed rendering process. An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of RSS readers by injecting malicious tag names or raw HTML markdown content. This is only exploitable if a non-owner admin or the owner with echo-creation rights creates content containing attacker-controlled input, and subscribers use RSS readers that render HTML content.
