    Issue
    Impact A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in the HTML output of chats. XSS is intended to be mitigated by Jinja's escape function. However, autoescape=True was missing when setting the environment. Although the actual impact is low, considering the HTML file is being viewed offline, an adversary may still be able to inject malicious payloads into the chat through WhatsApp. All users are affected. Patches The vulnerability is patched in 0.9.5. All users are strongly advised to update the exporter to the latest version. Workarounds No workaround is available. Please update the exporter to the latest version.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.9.5 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
