Bootstrap allows developers to configure components using HTML data-bs-* attributes. When a component initializes, it parses these attributes. If an application reflects user-controlled input directly into these attributes without proper sanitization, an attacker can inject malicious payloads.

While it lacks direct flaws, systems running this specific version often trigger security alerts during automated scans. These alerts are typically false positives, conflated with older versions, or rooted in the insecure implementation of application code rather than the framework itself.

Run npm update bootstrap to ensure you are at least on a patched 5.x version. 2. Sanitize All User Inputs (Crucial)

To exploit these issues, an attacker usually needs a way to submit content to a site. This could be through a comment section, a profile bio, or a URL parameter. Once the malicious payload is stored or reflected, any user viewing the page triggers the script. This can lead to session hijacking or data theft.
