GHSA-gvmj-g25r-r7wr: DOMPurify: SAFE_FOR_TEMPLATES bypass - template expressions survive sanitization inside <template> content when using DOM output modes
(updated )
When DOMPurify is configured with both SAFE_FOR_TEMPLATES: true and RETURN_DOM: true (or IN_PLACE: true), an attacker can inject template expressions, such as ${evil}, {{evil}}, or <%evil%>, that survive the sanitization pass inside <template> element content. This bypasses the explicit purpose of SAFE_FOR_TEMPLATES, which is to prevent template engine evaluation of user-supplied content.
Note: The string output path is not affected. Only the DOM return paths (
RETURN_DOM: true,RETURN_DOM_FRAGMENT: true,IN_PLACE: true) are vulnerable.
