CVE-2016-10537

backbone is a module that adds in structure to a JavaScript heavy application through key-value pairs and custom events connecting to your RESTful API through JSON There exists a potential Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in the Model#Escape function of backbone 0.3.3 and earlier, if a user is able to supply input. This is due to the regex that's replacing things to miss the conversion of things such as < to <.

backbone is a module that adds in structure to a JavaScript heavy application through key-value pairs and custom events connecting to your RESTful API through JSON There exists a potential Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in the Model#Escape function of backbone 0.3.3 and earlier, if a user is able to supply input. This is due to the regex that's replacing things to miss the conversion of things such as < to <.

Affected versions of backbone are vulnerable to cross-site scripting when users are allowed to supply input to the Model#Escape function, and the output is then written to the DOM.

The vulnerability occurs as a result of the regular expression used to encode metacharacters failing to take HTML Entities such as < into account.

Recommendation

Update to version 0.5.0 or later.
