    CVE-2010-2480

    Published: 2 Jul 2010Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: Mako before 0.3.4 relies on the cgi.escape function in the Python standard library for cross-site scripting (XSS) protection, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct XSS attacks via vectors involving single-quote characters and a JavaScript onLoad event handler for a BODY element.
