Affected packages

• npm quill: < 1.3.7 → fixed in 1.3.7

Description

Versions of `quill` prior to 1.3.7 are vulnerable to Reverse Tabnabbing. The package uses `target='_blank'` in anchor tags, allowing attackers to access `window.opener` for the original page when opening links. This is commonly used for phishing attacks. Recommendation No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
