Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Drupal 8.4.x versions before 8.4.5 and Drupal 7.x versions before 7.57 has a Drupal.checkPlain()
JavaScript function which is used to escape potentially dangerous text before outputting it to HTML (as
