@backstage/techdocs-common is a Common functionalities for TechDocs, to be shared between techdocs-backend plugin and techdocs-cli

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). A malicious internal actor is able to upload documentation content with malicious scripts.
