CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:8 buildah to version 2:1.33.6-2.module+el8.10.0+90298+77a9814d or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2024-2988.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream buildah package and not the buildah package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of "<script", "<!--", and "</script" within JS literals in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly consider script contexts to be terminated early, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This could be leveraged to perform an XSS attack.
