Unleash is an open-source feature management platform. Prior to 8.0.3, the change-request approval email template at src/mailtemplates/requested-cr-approval/requested-cr-approval.html.mustache renders the user-controlled changeRequestTitle, requesterName, and requesterEmail values without HTML escaping, and sendRequestedCRApprovalEmail passes those values to Mustache rendering. A project member who can create a change request when approval emails are enabled can inject HTML into an approver's notification, allowing forged links, tracking content, or visually altered email content. This issue is fixed in version 8.0.3.

GHSA-7hvx-28gp-mf6j — Unleash: CR-approval email renders user-controlled raw HTML

Affected: npm: unleash-server

### Summary The change-request approval HTML email template renders fields as raw HTML. User who can create a change request can inject HTML into approval notification emails. I was not able to confirm Enterprise platform is using vulnerable code nor that it doesn't sanitize input.

### Details `src/mailtemplates/requested-cr-approval/requested-cr-approval.html.mustache` uses Mustache triple-stash syntax for fields that can originate from users:

```mustache {{{ changeRequestTitle }}} {{{ requesterName }}} {{{ requesterEmail }}} {{{ changeRequestLink }}} ```

Triple-stash disables HTML escaping even when Mustache's global escape function is safe. The related renderer is `sendRequestedCRApprovalEmail` in `src/lib/services/email-service.ts`, which renders the template with `Mustache.render`.

### PoC 1. Use an Enterprise deployment with change requests and approval emails enabled. 2. As a project member who can create change requests, set a display name or change-request title to HTML such as:

```html </a><a href="https://example.com">Approve change request</a> ```

3. Create a change request that requires approval. 4. Observe that the approval email contains attacker-controlled raw HTML instead of escaped text.

### Impact Change-request approvers can receive forged links, tracking pixels, or visually altered email content.
