source listedECOSYSTEM: introduced 0; fixed 1.0.6
### Summary The `HtmlGenerator` class is subject to potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attack through a parsed malformed Minecraft server MOTD. ### Context Minecraft server owners can set a so-called MOTD (Message of the Day) for their server that appears next to the server icon and below the server name on the multiplayer server list of a player's Minecraft client. The Minecraft server sends the MOTD in the `description` property of the Status Response packet. The jgniecki/MinecraftMotdParser PHP library is able to parse the value of the `description` property, which can be either a string or an array of text components. By utilizing the aforementioned `HtmlGenerator` class, it is also able to transform the value into an HTML string that can be used to visualize the MOTD on a web page. ### Details The `HtmlGenerator` iterates through objects of `MotdItem` that are contained in an object of `MotdItemCollection` to generate a HTML string. An attacker can make malicious inputs to the `color` and `text` properties of `MotdItem` to inject own HTML into a web page during web page g
