Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Prism is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The easing preview of the Previewers plugin has an XSS
vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in Safari and Internet Explorer. This
impacts all Safari and Internet Explorer users of Prism >=v1.1.0 that use the _Previewers_ plugin
(>=v1.10.0) or the _Previewer: Easing_ plugin (v1.1.0 to v1.9.0). This problem is fixed in version 1.21.0.
