    Action Type Old Value New Value
    Added Description An issue was discovered in the Mail Disguise module before 1.x-1.0.5 for Backdrop CMS. It enables a website to obfuscate email addresses, and should prevent spambots from collecting them. The module doesn’t sufficiently validate the data attribute value on links, potentially leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This is mitigated by the fact an attacker must be able to insert link () HTML elements containing data attributes into the page.
    Added CVSS V3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
    Added CWE CWE-79
