+# Template Security Patch
+
+This patch addresses security vulnerabilities in the lodash template function by implementing additional safeguards and sanitization measures.
+
+## Changes
+
+1. Added code sanitization to prevent access to dangerous globals
+2. Implemented secure execution context using isolated scopes
+3. Enhanced error handling for both compilation and execution phases
+4. Improved XSS prevention with better HTML escaping
+5. Added TypeScript support
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### Before
+
+```javascript
+const compiled = _.template('hello <%= user %>');
+const result = compiled({ user: data });
+```
+
+### After
+
+```javascript
+const compiled = _.template('hello <%= user %>', {
+  sandbox: {} // Optional sandbox for allowed globals
+});
+const result = compiled({ user: data });
+```
+
+## Security Improvements
+
+- Removes access to potentially dangerous globals like `process`, `require`, etc.
+- Creates isolated execution context
+- Prevents prototype pollution
+- Improves HTML escaping for XSS prevention
+- Adds controlled sandbox environment
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+None. This patch maintains backward compatibility while adding security improvements.
