Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) In node-dompurify

Description

DOMPurify before 3.4.12 fails to execute afterSanitizeElements hook for custom elements allowed via CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck, allowing attributes to bypass application security policies. Attackers can preserve sensitive attributes on custom elements that later re-inject them into innerHTML sinks, creating second-order XSS gadgets.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
