sanitize-html prior to version 2.0.0-beta is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). The sanitizeHtml() function in index.js does not sanitize content when using the custom transformTags option, which is intended to convert attribute values into text. As a result, malicious input can be transformed into executable code.
Versions of the package sanitize-html before 2.12.1 are vulnerable to Information Exposure when used on the backend and with the style attribute allowed, allowing enumeration of files in the system (including project dependencies). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gather details about the file system structure and dependencies of the targeted server.
The package sanitize-html before 2.7.1 is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) due to insecure global regular expression replacement logic of HTML comment removal.
sanitize-html does not properly handle internationalized domain name (IDN) which could allow an attacker to bypass the hostname allowlist validation set by the allowedIframeHostnames option.
sanitize-html does not properly validate the hostnames set by the allowedIframeHostnames option when the allowIframeRelativeUrls is set to true, which allows attackers to bypass the hostname allow list for an iframe element.
sanitize-html does not sanitize input recursively, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary Javascript.
Sanitize-html is vulnerable to cross site scripting (XSS) in certain scenarios: If allowed at least one nonTextTags, the result is a potential XSS vulnerability.
sanitize-html has a cross site scripting vulnerability.
Sanitization of HTML strings is not applied recursively to input, allowing an attacker to potentially inject script and other markup.
sanitize-html is vulnerable to cross site scripting (XSS) in certain scenarios: If allowed at least one nonTextTags, the result is a potential XSS vulnerability.
sanitize-html will merge an incomplete attribute like SRC= with the next attribute. While the result is not valid HTML it may be misinterpreted by the browser.
