Title
Reset context tracking on consecutive template expressions in html/template
Summary
When a JavaScript template literal contains consecutive expressions, the context tracking state was not properly reset upon entering a new expression. We now ensure that template-literal expression entries correctly reset context variables so all subsequent regular expression literals are accurately recognized and escaped.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
