Description Doran Moppert 2020-02-11 22:41:59 UTC
If a `<template>` tag was used in a `<select>` tag, the parser could be confused and allow JavaScript parsing and execution when it should not be allowed. A site that relied on the browser behaving correctly could suffer a cross-site scripting vulnerability as a result.
