CVE-2017-16008
Because of how the interpolation is implemented, making replacements from the dictionary one at a time, untrusted user input can use the name of one of the dictionary keys to inject script into the browser.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.85%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
