Description
Prism’s Command line plugin can be used by attackers to achieve an XSS attack. The Command line plugin did not properly escape its output, leading to the input text being inserted into the DOM as HTML code.
Server-side usage of Prism is not impacted. Websites that do not use the Command Line plugin are also not impacted.
