How to fix?

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via the .ToString() method due to improper sanitization. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible when a binding parameter is a crafted Object and might result in arbitrary JavaScript code execution or DoS.

Workarounds

Ensure sufficient sanitization in the parent application to protect against invalid values being supplied to binding parameters.
