Until a fix is available, users should avoid opening untrusted or malicious source files that could trigger this vulnerability. Consider disabling or restricting the hover popup feature if possible.
Description
Eclipse Langium versions 3.0.0 and later have a vulnerability in the langium-sprotty package where diagnostic messages are not HTML-escaped before rendering in hover popups. This allows attacker-controlled JavaScript to execute in the browser or webview when a malicious source file triggers an unresolved cross-reference diagnostic containing HTML markup.
