TL;DR

Affected versions of this package fail to properly sanitize user-supplied data when used inside a function that creates a page_title attribute for the specified input, leading to a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this by injecting malicious JavaScript or HTML into the title creation input field. This unsafe front-end rendering allows the execution of scripts in a victim's browser, potentially stealing session cookies or handling other client-side exploits.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
