Hi List,

GitHub has identified the a security issue in the ganeti/docs[1]
repository.

I don't know much about this web things, so I'm sharing my thoughts here,
to get some feedback on how to handle this.

GitHub suspects that we use the underscore JavaScript library in a npm
project? I understand this as a server side vulnerability? However the
docs are static content generated by sphinx, which basically means, if
there is any risk, it's client side. Does anybody know if there is a risk
with clients? If so, we need to change it in every Ganeti version.

I can't find any information on how this vulnerability was discovered.
Does GitHub just look for the version? If so, it won't even detect a
Debian fixed version[2]

Thanks, Sascha.
