HTML::FormHandler versions before 0.410002 for Perl render field
attributes into HTML without escaping using the process_attrs method

Description
-----------
HTML::FormHandler versions before 0.410002 for Perl render field
attributes into HTML without escaping using the process_attrs method.

Any application with fields or field labels where some attributes are
built from data rather than literals allows attacker-influenced text in
an attribute value that can override the field attributes or embed
JavaScript in rendered pages.

For example, the RadioGroup widget uses the process_attrs method via
the render_option and wrap_radio methods.

Problem types
-------------
- CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation
   ('Cross-site Scripting')

Solutions
---------
Upgrade to HTML-FormHandler 0.410002 or later.
