HTML-injection vulnerability in Pluck

Pluck is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

The vendor has not released a patch for this vulnerability. However, users can protect themselves by ensuring that user-supplied input is properly sanitized before being used in dynamically generated content. It is recommended to use input validation and output encoding to prevent HTML-injection attacks.
