NVD Description

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

Actions which insert URLs into the content attribute of HTML meta tags are not escaped. This can allow XSS if the meta tag also has an http-equiv attribute with the value "refresh". A new GODEBUG setting has been added, htmlmetacontenturlescape, which can be used to disable escaping URLs in actions in the meta content attribute which follow "url=" by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0.
