Konqueror 3.5.5 - Cross-Site Scripting via HTML Comment Parsing

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The KDE HTML library (kdelibs), as used by Konqueror 3.5.5, does not properly parse HTML comments, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and bypass some XSS protection schemes by embedding certain HTML tags within a comment in a title tag, a related issue to CVE-2007-0478.
