Cross-Site Scripting in console-feed

Description

Versions of console-feed prior to 2.8.10 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package fails to properly escape the rendered output. If an application uses console-feed and a malicious JavaScript payload was passed to a console.log('%_', payload) call, the package would render HTML containing the malicious payload.

Recommendation

Update the console-feed package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

• Affected version(s): < 2.8.10
• Patched version(s): 2.8.10
