Description
All versions of Fluid Components before 3.5.0 were susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting. Version 3.5.0 of the extension fixes this issue. Due to the nature of the problem, some changes in your project's Fluid templates might be necessary to prevent unwanted double-escaping of HTML markup.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for sitegeist/fluid-components, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update sitegeist/fluid-components to 3.5.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-28604 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
