Description

Versions of bootstrap prior to 3.4.1 for 3.x and 4.3.1 for 4.x are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The data-template attribute of the tooltip and popover plugins lacks input sanitization and may allow attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript.

• Affected version(s): **>= 3.0.0, < 3.4.1

  >= 4.0.0, < 4.3.1**

• Patched version(s): **3.4.1
