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

Passing user-controlled data directly to the createNodesFromMarkup function can allow untrusted HTML or scripts to be injected into the page. This practice opens the door to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute malicious scripts in users' browsers, potentially stealing session cookies, accessing sensitive data, or performing actions on behalf of users. This compromises user security and trust, and could lead to data breaches or regulatory issues.
