### Impact Nuxt's globally registered `<NoScript>` component (from `@unhead/vue` head components, re-exported by Nuxt) wrote its default-slot content to the `innerHTML` of the `<noscript>` head tag, bypassing the HTML escaping that `{{ }}` interpolation normally applies in Vue templates. Applications that placed untrusted, attacker-controllable data inside a `<NoScript>` slot, for example: ```vue <NoScript>{{ route.query.banner }}</NoScript> ``` would emit that value unescaped inside `<noscript>` in the server-rendered HTML. With scripting enabled, the HTML parser treats `<noscript>` content in `<head>` under the "in head noscript" insertion mode: any tag other than `link`, `meta`, `noframes`, or `style` implicitly closes `<noscript>` and is re-processed in the head. A payload such as `<script>...</script>` therefore escapes the element and executes in the document context. Sibling head components (`<Style>`, `<Title>`) were not affected because they already routed slot text through the safe `textContent` path. ### Affected versions All currently supported versions of `nuxt` that ship the `<NoScript>` global component. ### Patches Fixed in `[email protected]` (commit [`4b054e9d`](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/commit/4b054e9d95f8daf366cb144b52782047c511a66e)) and backported to `[email protected]` (commit [`7fea9fd6`](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/commit/7fea9fd687f1dacbfb63db5fae5839896b017a0e)). The fix escapes `<NoScript>` slot content with `escapeHtml` from `@vue/shared` and writes it to `textContent` rather than `innerHTML`. Slot content is now rendered as text; intentional markup inside `<NoScript>` is no longer parsed as HTML. ### Workarounds Until you can upgrade: - Do not interpolate untrusted input into `<NoScript>` slots. Replace `<NoScript>{{ x }}</NoScript>` with a static string, or sanitise / HTML-escape `x` at the source. - If you must render dynamic noscript content, write the tag yourself via `useHead({ noscript: [{ textContent: escapedValue }] })` after
