What to do
AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, avoid enabling the experimental slot fixes option in applications using scoped components, or sanitize and validate any data assigned to the textContent property of component host elements to prevent injection of malicious markup.
Description
Stencil core 4.43.5 contains a DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the component runtime. When a downstream application enables the experimental slot fixes option and uses scoped components, assigning a string to the textContent property of such a component's host element causes the value to be parsed as HTML instead of being inserted as text. If an application writes attacker-controlled data to these host elements, the data can be interpreted as markup and script can execute in the context of the application's origin.
