Summary

It was discovered that there was a potential cross-site scripting vulnerability in smarty3, a widely-used PHP templating engine.
In Smarty before 3.1.47 and 4.x before 4.2.1, libs/plugins/function.mailto.php allows XSS. A web page that uses smarty_function_mailto, and that could be parameterized using GET or POST input parameters, could allow injection of JavaScript code by a user. (CVE-2018-25047)
