NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-cjson package and not the python-cjson package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Dan Pascu python-cjson 1.0.5 does not properly handle a ['/'] argument to cjson.encode, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct certain cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks involving Firefox and the end tag of a SCRIPT element.
