Descriptions

The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like "" comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of <script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS attack.

El paquete html/template no maneja correctamente los tokens de comentario "" similares a HTML, ni los tokens de comentario hashbang "#!", en el contexto
