python-openstackdocstheme lets attackers inject scripts via tooltips

published 7 years ago
Summary

The python-openstackdocstheme package uses an older version of the Bootstrap library that can allow malicious code to run when a tooltip or popover displays crafted content. This cross‑site scripting risk could let someone viewing your documentation execute unwanted actions in their browser. Upgrade the theme or the underlying Bootstrap library to the latest safe versions to eliminate the risk.
