## Overview

The [Datatables view plugin](https://docs.ckan.org/en/2.10/maintaining/data-viewer.html#datatables-view) did not properly escape record data coming from the DataStore, leading to a potential XSS vector.


### Impact
Sites running CKAN >= 2.7.0 with the `datatables_view` plugin activated. This is a plugin included in CKAN core, that not activated by default but it is widely used to preview tabular data.

### Patches
This vulnerability has been fixed in CKAN 2.10.5 and 2.11.0

### Workarounds
Prevent importing of tabular files to the DataStore via DataPusher, XLoader,etc, at least those published from untrusted sources.


## Affected packages

- `ckan >= 2.7.0, < 2.10.5`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `ckan 2.10.5`
