How to fix?

There is no fixed version for materialize-css.

Overview

materialize-css is a CSS Framework based on Material Design.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) due to unescaped text being inserted into the Document Object Model (DOM).

A vulnerability can arise when user input is provided to the autocomplete component. Typically "safe" data is used as part of this feature such as application links and urls. However there are cases where it may be reasonable to use user generated content. As such, this could allow a malicious user to pass a specially crafted JavaScript payload and render them within the element.

PoC

$('input.autocomplete').autocomplete({
    data: {
        "Apple": "\"><IFRAME SRC=\"javascript:alert(document.cookie);\"></IFRAME>",
        "Microsoft": null,
        "Google": 'https://placehold.it/250x250',
    }
});
