### Summary `createStreamableHead({ streamKey })` interpolated its `streamKey` argument directly into the streaming SSR bootstrap and suspense-chunk inline scripts without identifier validation or escaping. If an application forwards untrusted data into that configuration value, the rendered scripts become a script-injection sink. ### Details `streamKey` was embedded into JavaScript source via dot notation in two public helpers: * `createBootstrapScript()` returned `<script>window.${streamKey}={...}</script>` * `renderSSRHeadSuspenseChunk()` returned `window.${streamKey}.push(...)` No escaping, quoting, or identifier validation was applied before these strings were embedded into HTML. A `streamKey` such as `__unhead__;globalThis.PWNED=1;//` broke out of the intended property access and injected arbitrary JavaScript into the page. The JSON escaping used for streamed head entries did not protect `streamKey` because `streamKey` was inserted as raw code rather than as serialized data. ### Impact `streamKey` is a developer-chosen configuration value rather than a data field — the intended usage is a hardcoded identifier-shaped constant (default `__unhead__`). Exploitation therefore requires an application to explicitly route untrusted input into a configuration sink, which is not a documented or recommended pattern. We have no reports of any downstream project sourcing `streamKey` from request data. Applications using the default `streamKey`, or any hardcoded custom key, are **not affected**. ### PoC ```ts import { createStreamableHead, renderSSRHeadShell } from 'unhead/stream/server' const { head } = createStreamableHead({ streamKey: '__unhead__;globalThis.PWNED=1;//', }) const html = renderSSRHeadShell( head, '<!doctype html><html><head></head><body></body></html>', ) // <!doctype html><html><head><script>window.__unhead__;globalThis.PWNED=1;//={_q:[],push(e){this._q.push(e)}}</script>… ``` ### Patch Fixed on `main` in [`64b5ac0`](https://github.co
