"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) DOMParser and XMLSerializer module.
Prior to @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.14 and 0.9.11, and in xmldom version 0.6.0 and earlier,
Element.setAttribute() calls the private _createAttribute(name) path without validating the attribute
name, while Document.createAttribute(name) validates against QName. XMLSerializer.serializeToString()
emits attribute names verbatim, and requireWellFormed: true did not validate them, so a crafted name can
terminate the intended attribute and inject additional attributes, including event handlers, into browser-
consumed output; synthesized xmlns:PREFIX declarations expose the same unchecked-name boundary. This issue
is fixed in @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.14 and 0.9.11; no fixed version is available for xmldom.
