DescriptionNVD

http.cookies.Morsel.js_output() returns an inline <script> snippet and only escapes " for JavaScript string context. It does not neutralize the HTML parser-sensitive sequence </script> inside the generated script element. Mitigation base64-encodes the cookie value to disallow escaping using cookie value.

AnalysisAI

While the method escapes double quotes for JavaScript string context, it does not prevent premature termination of the script element through </script> injection, resulting in limited information disclosure. …
