CVE-2017-16010: Cross-site Scripting

May 29, 2018 (updated October 9, 2019)

When using the .init method, passing interpolation options without passing an escapeValue will default to undefined rather than the assumed true. This can result in a cross-site scripting vulnerability because user input is assumed to be escaped, but is not.
