Description

Versions of status-board prior to 10.0.1 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The _createPreviewButton() function fails to sanitize the href attribute of a created <a> tag. This may allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim’s browser.

  • Affected version(s): >= 0.3.0, < 10.0.1
