GHSA-6457-mxpq-4fqq: i18nextify has DOM XSS via javascript:/data: URL schemes in translated href/src attributes
Versions of i18nextify prior to 4.0.8 substitute {{key}} interpolation tokens inside src and href attribute values with the raw string returned by i18next.t(). The substitution logic in src/localize.js (replaceInside handler around line 122) only guards against a duplicated http:// origin prefix — it does not validate the URL scheme of the substituted value. A translated value such as javascript:alert(1) or data:text/html,<script>...</script> is applied unchanged to the live DOM attribute.
