+### A note on `_.template`
+
+[`template`][template] allows the user to inject arbitrary JavaScript
+code in the template string. This is allowed by design. In fact, it is
+the main feature of `template`. Without this feature, templates would
+not be able to have conditional or repeated sections.
+
+Because of this feature, it is the responsibility of the user not to
+pass any untrusted input to `template`. The contract is similar to
+that of the `Function` constructor or even `eval`: this function is so
+powerful that it can be dangerous, so use it with care.
+
+If this does not sound exactly like what you were considering to
+report, or in case of doubt, please do send us a report. Of course, we
+would rather be safe than sorry. You would not be the first to find a
+[vulnerability in `template`][cve-2021-23358].
