Vulnerability Details
Python-Projects/.github/scripts/convert_to_html_tables.pyExplanation:
The script reads contributors data from .github/data/contributors-log.json and directly formats values (project title, contributor names, pull request identifiers, and demo_path) into HTML using Python f-strings without any escaping or validation. Those strings are then written into index.md as HTML table cells and anchor tags. If an attacker can control or modify the JSON content (via a pull request, compromised contributor data, or another pipeline input), they can craft payloads that break out of attribute contexts or use dangerous URL schemes (e.g., javascript:) to execute arbitrary JavaScript when the resulting index.md is rendered. The code does not perform HTML-escaping for attributes or visible content, nor does it validate URL schemes or PR identifiers, enabling multiple practical XSS injection vectors.
Please review and address the issue accordingly.
