Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Highcharts npm package versions 12.0.0 up to 12.6.1 and 13.0.0 up to 13.1.0 are affected by an HTML text parsing fallback that inserts unfiltered markup into the page. When the hosting page re-renders the chart from a beforeprint handler in Chromium, HTML-rendered text options such as titles, labels and responsive-rule text can carry event handlers that run in the host page's origin, and printing from the exporting menu triggers this. The fix is to upgrade to version 12.6.1 or 13.1.0, or to apply the workaround given in the source for other affected versions.
