Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions mustache versions prior to 2.2.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by leveraging a template with an attribute that is not quoted. This can occur when attributes in mustache templates are not properly encapsulated. For example, a template like <a href={{foo}}/> with input { 'foo' : 'test.com onload=alert(1)'} can result in a rendered output of <a href=test.com onload=alert(1)/>, facilitating the XSS attack.

Recommendations Update to version 2.2.1 or later. Alternatively, ensure that all attributes in mustache templates are encapsulated with quotes.
