Summary
Versions of `react` prior to 0.14.0 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package's `createElement` function fails to properly validate its input object, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 0.14.0 or later.
