Fixes https://github.com/bitpredator/empiretown/security/code-scanning/569
To fix the problem, we need to ensure that any user-provided data used to construct HTML is properly sanitized or escaped to prevent XSS attacks. The best way to fix this issue without changing existing functionality is to use a library like
DOMPurify
to sanitize the user-provided data before inserting it into the DOM.DOMPurify
library.DOMPurify
in the file.DOMPurify.sanitize
to sanitize the user-provided data before constructing theDispatchItem
variable.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
