TL;DR

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS). Clerk auth state is serialized with JSON.stringify into SSR <script> tags. User-controllable session claims containing a </script> sequence can break out of the script element and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser. The fix escapes <, >, and / (and Unicode line terminators) so the embedded JSON remains safe while parsing to identical values on the client.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you use @clerk/astro within the vulnerable range and render SSR pages that embed Clerk auth state, especially when session claims can contain user-controlled values.
