    CVE-2024-0758

    Summary: JavaScript execution via malicious molfiles (XSS)

    Details: ### Impact The viewer plugin implementation of `<mol:molecule>` renders molfile data directly inside a `<script>` tag without any escaping. Arbitrary JavaScript code can thus be executed in the client browser via crafted molfiles. ### Patches Patched in v0.3.0: Molfile data is now rendered as value of a hidden `<input>` tag and escaped via JSF's mechanisms. ### Workarounds No workaround available.
