summary: Improper handling of HTML-like comments in script contexts in html/template
description: |-
    The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like "" comment tokens,
    nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the
    template parser to improperly interpret the contents of <script> contexts,
    causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an
    XSS attack.
