## Vulnerability Details
Potential impact
Reflected, unauthenticated injection of attacker-controlled content into a CORS-open application/ld+json response, plus a missing X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header on this single response path (present everywhere else). No direct script execution was demonstrated on current browsers (this content type is generally not HTML-sniffed), but it is a real output-encoding bug (CWE-116) and a defense-in-depth gap that could be exploited by structured-data consumers or in combination with other issues / less-strict clients.

Remediation
Apply the vendor-supported fixed release or mitigation, then verify the affected component is no longer reachable.
