In the case an application sanitizes user input with a vulnerable configuration an attacker could bypass the sanitization and inject arbitrary HTML including JavaScript code. Note that in the default configuration the vulnerability is not present. The vulnerability has been fixed in versions 8.0.723 and 8.1.722-beta (preview version).
