CVE-2018-6341
That lack of escaping could lead to a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
React applications which rendered to HTML using the ReactDOMServer API were not escaping user-supplied attribute names at render-time. That lack of escaping could lead to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue affected minor releases 16.0.x, 16.1.x, 16.2.x, 16.3.x, and 16.4.x. It was fixed in 16.0.1, 16.1.2, 16.2.1, 16.3.3, and 16.4.2.
