    Found a formatted template string passed to 'template.URL()'.
    'template.URL()' does not escape contents, and this could result in XSS (cross-site scripting) and
    therefore confidential data being stolen. Sanitize data coming into this function or make sure that no
    user-controlled input is coming into the function.
