CVE-2021-46872
An issue was discovered in Nim before 1.6.2.
Impact
An issue was discovered in Nim before 1.6.2. The RST module of the Nim language stdlib, as used in NimForum and other products, permits the javascript: URI scheme and thus can lead to XSS in some applications. (Nim versions 1.6.2 and later are fixed; there may be backports of the fix to some earlier versions. NimForum 2.2.0 is fixed.)
Affected products
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions |
|---|---|---|
| Nim-Lang | Nim | before 1.6.2 |
| Nim-Lang | Nimforum | before 2.2.0 |
