TL;DR

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient output encoding when dynamically generating absolute links in grid fields. The AbsoluteLinkformatter injects unescaped URLs into HTML, allowing attackers to craft malicious links containing JavaScript payloads, potentially leading to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or other client-side attacks.
