CVE-2021-46872 Information

Description

An issue was discovered in Nim before 1.6.2. The RST module of the Nim language stdlib as used in NimForum and other products permits the javascript: URI scheme and thus can lead to XSS in some applications. (Nim versions 1.6.2 and later are fixed; there may be backports of the fix to some earlier versions. NimForum 2.2.0 is fixed.)
