-# 2025-02-24 Template injection leading to RCE
-
-Between commits 4e6c5c0ba3af3d93a67961651db0906c6dfa686f (2024-07-17) and
-89c285042835bec5cdd23128102dbeeba37bfa16 (2025-02-24), template.sh included
-a code path which allowed an attacker to inject the delimeter (\x02) into
-a rendered value, which coupled with using the `e` sed filter could lead to
-remote code execution.
-
-This vulnerability could only be triggered in apps using the subtemplate
-feature. It arose due to an inconsistency with input sanitization between
-including a raw value and including a raw value while recursing.
