NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs24-libs-debuginfo package and not the nodejs24-libs-debuginfo package as distributed by Rocky-Linux. See How to fix? for Rocky-Linux:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

ip-address is a library for parsing and manipulating IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in JavaScript. Prior to 10.1.1, Address6.group() and Address6.link() do not HTML-escape attacker-controlled content before embedding it in the HTML strings they return, and AddressError.parseMessage (emitted by the Address6 constructor for invalid input) can contain unescaped attacker-controlled content in one branch. An application that (1) passes untrusted input to Address6 and (2) renders the output of these methods, or the thrown error's parseMessage, as HTML (e.g. via innerHTML) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.1.1.
