Title
Svelte Vulnerable to XSS via HTML Comment Injection in SSR Error Boundary Hydration Markers
Summary
Svelte performance oriented web framework. Prior to version 5.53.5, errors from `transformError` were not correctly escaped prior to being embedded in the HTML output, causing potential HTML injection and XSS if attacker-controlled content is returned from `transformError`. Version 5.53.5 fixes the issue.
