NVD Description

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

The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like "" comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of <script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS attack.
