How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:8 container-tools:rhel8/conmon to version 3:2.1.10-1.module+el8.10.0+21077+98b84d8a or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:2988.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream container-tools:rhel8/conmon package and not the container-tools:rhel8/conmon package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL: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.
