Bootstrap 3.2.0 and 3.1.1 are closely related versions of the popular front-end framework, offering developers tools for creating responsive and mobile-first web projects. Both versions share the same MIT license and are maintained by Twitter, Inc. As a whole they provide a robust grid system, pre-built components, and JavaScript plugins, streamlining web development.
The primary differences lie in the development dependencies and the release dates. Version 3.2.0 was released on June 26, 2014, a couple of weeks after 3.1.1, which came out on June 9, 2014. The later version utilizes newer versions of several Grunt plugins, indicating updates in the build process and potentially improved optimization or testing. Notable changes include upgrades to grunt-autoprefixer, grunt-contrib-cssmin, grunt-contrib-jshint, and the introduction of npm-shrinkwrap for dependency management. These updates likely brought enhanced CSS prefixing, improved CSS minification, stricter JavaScript linting, and more consistent builds. Developers moving from 3.1.1 to 3.2.0 could expect incremental bug fixes, build improvements, and compatibility with more recent build tools which can improve their workflow while developing web applications. While the core functionalities remain consistent, the updated dependencies in version 3.2.0 offer a slightly more refined and up-to-date development experience.

Bootstrap Vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting
Versions of bootstrap prior to 3.4.1 for 3.x and 4.3.1 for 4.x are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The data-template attribute of the tooltip and popover plugins lacks input sanitization and may allow attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript.
For bootstrap 4.x upgrade to 4.3.1 or later.
For bootstrap 3.x upgrade to 3.4.1 or later.
Bootstrap Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability for data-* attributes
A security vulnerability has been discovered in bootstrap that could enable Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The vulnerability is associated with the data-loading-text attribute within the button plugin. This vulnerability can be exploited by injecting malicious JavaScript code into the attribute, which would then be executed when the button's loading state is triggered.
Bootstrap Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability
A vulnerability has been identified in Bootstrap that exposes users to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The issue is present in the carousel component, where the data-slide and data-slide-to attributes can be exploited through the href attribute of an <a> tag due to inadequate sanitization. This vulnerability could potentially enable attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the victim's browser.
