  "details": "## Withdrawn Advisory\nThis advisory is withdrawn because it was not a security issue in Bootstrap. Bootstrap\u2019s JavaScript is not intended to sanitize unsafe or intentionally dangerous HTML. As such, the reported behavior fell outside the scope of Bootstrap\u2019s security model, and the associated CVE has been rescinded.\n\n## Original Descripton\n\nA vulnerability has been identified in Bootstrap that exposes users to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The issue is present in the carousel component, where the data-slide and data-slide-to attributes can be exploited through the href attribute of an \u003ca\u003e tag due to inadequate sanitization. This vulnerability could potentially enable attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the victim\u0027s browser.",
