Smarty is a template engine for PHP. In affected versions smarty did not
properly escape javascript code. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the
user’s browser session. This may lead to unauthorized access to sensitive
user data, manipulation of the web application’s behavior, or unauthorized
actions performed on behalf of the user. Users are advised to upgrade to
either version 3.1.48 or to 4.3.1 to resolve this issue. There are no known
workarounds for this vulnerability.
