  - Handlebars provides the power necessary to let users build semantic templates. From 3.0.0 until 4.7.10,
    Handlebars lookupProperty returns Function.prototype.constructor before applying the prototype-access deny
    list because constructor is an own property of Function.prototype. When an attacker can render a
    controlled template with allowProtoMethodsByDefault enabled and an accessible function in the template
    context, the template can traverse from that function through its prototype to Function.prototype and then
    obtain the Function constructor through the own-property bypass. This permits attacker-controlled
    JavaScript to execute with the server application's privileges. This issue is fixed in version 4.7.10.
