Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

A high level XSS risk has been identified in the encoding of validation messages in certain FormField classes.

Certain fields such as the NumericField and DropdownField have been identified, but any form field which presents any invalid content as a part of its validation response will be at risk.
