Cross-Site Scripting in backbone
Affected versions of backbone are vulnerable to cross-site scripting when users are allowed to supply input to the Model#Escape function, and the output is then written to the DOM.
The vulnerability occurs as a result of the regular expression used to encode metacharacters failing to take HTML Entities such as < into account.
Recommendation
Update to version 0.5.0 or later.
