Thanks. And yes, this is within the context of embedding the JSON within HTML.

I had wanted to include a code example, but having troubles getting it to post here. I'll try again. I'm HTML encoding a couple of < characters in the code block below, just to get it to post.

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use JSON;

my $untrusted =
  q{ETAGO problem? </script><script>window.alert('POWNED!');&lt;/scrip
+t>};

my %data = (
  '@context'  => 'http://schema.org',
  '@type'     => 'BlogPosting',
  description => $untrusted,
);

my $json = JSON->new->encode(\%data);
print qq{
  <html>
    <body>
      <h1>Test</h1>
      <script type="ld+json">$json&lt;/script>
    </body>
  </html>
};

That breaks out and triggers the alert for me in Chrome.
