CVE-2010-2480  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

Overview

mako is a super-fast templating language that borrows the best ideas from the existing templating languages.

Mako before 0.3.4 relies on the cgi.escape function in the Python standard library for cross-site scripting (XSS) protection, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct XSS attacks via vectors involving single-quote characters and a JavaScript onLoad event handler for a BODY element.
