This version has a known flaw where sending it an unusually long piece of text can cause it to get stuck processing, slowing your app to a crawl or making it temporarily unavailable to users.

Outdated Bootstrap Library Allows Script Injection via Button Components

Bootstrap 3 is also no longer maintained, so no official fix will be released for this version.
