Severity
CWE	CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
OWASP	A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

Template variables are being directly inserted into HTML tags, allowing user input to influence the structure of the HTML. This can create a security risk if untrusted data is used, as it may enable attackers to inject malicious scripts.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, allowing them to steal user data, hijack user sessions, or manipulate web page content. This can compromise user accounts, damage trust, and potentially lead to broader system breaches.
