Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	---
Doc Text:	A flaw was found in html/template. A trusted template author could craft a script tag with an empty or whitespace-only 'type' attribute. This vulnerability causes the template engine to incorrectly escape data passed into the script block, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS). An attacker could leverage this to execute arbitrary client-side scripts in a user's browser.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-07 20:02:08 UTC

If a trusted template author were to write a <script> tag containing an empty 'type' attribute or a 'type' attribute with an ASCII whitespace, the execution of the template would incorrectly escape any data passed into the <script> block.
