The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the data-colorbox-inline attribute value before passing it to jQuery, leading to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with permission to enter HTML tags containing specific data attributes.Solution: Install the latest version:
- If you use the Colorbox Inline module for Drupal 8.x, upgrade to Colorbox Inline 2.1.1
