Summary
Sanitize vulnerable to Improper Input Validation and Cross-site Scripting
Details

When Sanitize <= 4.6.2 is used in combination with libxml2 >= 2.9.2, a specially crafted HTML fragment can cause libxml2 to generate improperly escaped output, allowing non-whitelisted attributes to be used on whitelisted elements.

This can allow HTML and JavaScript injection, which could result in XSS if Sanitize's output is served to browsers.

Severity ?
7.5 (High)
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
