NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream node-handlebars package and not the node-handlebars package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The handlebars package before 4.0.0 for Node.js allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by leveraging a template with an attribute that is not quoted.
