Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') via improper escaping of attribute values during the serialization process of outgoing XMPP stanzas. An attacker can inject arbitrary XMPP stanzas into the user's connection by sending crafted requests, resulting in the server processing these stanzas as if sent by the user, which can lead to unauthorized message sending or modification of contact and subscription settings without user interaction. This is only exploitable if the chat feature is enabled with XMPP accounts.
