What is CVE-2013-7453?

The validator module for Node.js prior to version 1.1.0 is susceptible to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows remote attackers to bypass the built-in XSS filtering mechanisms through manipulation techniques related to UI redressing. Such attacks can compromise the integrity of web applications by injecting malicious scripts, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data theft. It is critical for users of affected versions to upgrade to the latest releases to mitigate this security risk.
