Summary
Cross-Site Scripting in highcharts
Details

Versions of highcharts prior to 7.2.2 or 8.1.1 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package fails to sanitize href values and does not restrict URL schemes, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser if they click the link.
