CVE
#xss#vulnerability#web#debian#git

Following remark from @legoktm at #721 (comment)

Thanks, so a597870 was only included in 10.0.0 (no released Debian versions are affected, just unstable).

Could we do a 10.0.2 release with just this cherry-picked? I note that even library.kiwix.org is vulnerable to this. Or if 10.1.0 is coming pretty soon then waiting wouldn’t be too bad.

And we should also get a CVE ID assigned for this vulnerability, @kelson42 if you haven’t gone through this process before I’m happy to help out.

I also believe we should not wait to much to make the release of 10.1.0.
