+The Rust Security Response Working Group was recently notified of a security
+issue affecting the search feature of mdBook, which could allow an attacker to
+execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the page.
+
+The CVE for this vulnerability is [CVE-2020-26297][1].
+
+## Overview
+
+The search feature of mdBook (introduced in version 0.1.4) was affected by a
+cross site scripting vulnerability that allowed an attacker to execute
+arbitrary JavaScript code on an user's browser by tricking the user into typing
+a malicious search query, or tricking the user into clicking a link to the
+search page with the malicious search query prefilled.
+
+mdBook 0.4.5 fixes the vulnerability by properly escaping the search query.
+
+## Mitigations
+
+Owners of websites built with mdBook have to upgrade to mdBook 0.4.5 or greater
+and rebuild their website contents with it. It's possible to install mdBook
+0.4.5 on the local system with:
+
+```
+cargo install mdbook --version 0.4.5 --force
+```
