Package: libhtml-template-pro-perl
Version: 0.9502-1
Severity: important
Tags: security

The JS escaping in libhtml-template-pro-perl misses to escape "<" and
">" which allows XSS.  This was fixed in the last upstream release (0.9507).

An example script that triggers the bug is attached.  With 0.9507 it
outputs

  <evil>

older versions generate

  <evil>

instead.
