NVD Description

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

The serialize-javascript npm package before version 2.1.1 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). It does not properly mitigate against unsafe characters in serialized regular expressions. This vulnerability is not affected on Node.js environment since Node.js's implementation of RegExp.prototype.toString() backslash-escapes all forward slashes in regular expressions. If serialized data of regular expression objects are used in an environment other than Node.js, it is affected by this vulnerability.
