Details

Cross-Site Scripting in sanitize-html Affected versions of `sanitize-html` are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. ## Proof of Concept: `<IMG SRC= onmouseover="alert('XSS');">` produces the following: `<img src="onmouseover="alert('XSS');"" />` This is definitely invalid HTML, but would suggest that it's being interpreted incorrectly by the parser. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.2.3 or later.
