CVE-2024-36361 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Pug through 3.0.2 allows JavaScript code execution if an application accepts untrusted input for the name option of the compileClient, compileFileClient, or compileClientWithDependenciesTracked function. NOTE: these functions are for compiling Pug templates into JavaScript, and there would typically be no reason to allow untrusted callers.. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
