Details

Cross-Site Scripting in backbone 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 `&#60;` into account. ## Recommendation Update to version 0.5.0 or later.
