      "value": "DOMPurify is a DOM-only cross-site scripting sanitizer for HTML, MathML, and SVG. Versions prior to 3.4.0 have an inconsistency between FORBID_TAGS and FORBID_ATTR handling when function-based ADD_TAGS is used. Commit c361baa added an early exit for FORBID_ATTR at line 1214. The same fix was not applied to FORBID_TAGS. At line 1118-1123, when EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagCheck returns true, the short-circuit evaluation skips the FORBID_TAGS check entirely. This allows forbidden elements to survive sanitization with their attributes intact. Version 3.4.0 patches the issue."

Las versiones anteriores a la 3.4.0 tienen una inconsistencia entre el manejo de FORBID_TAGS y FORBID_ATTR cuando se utiliza ADD_TAGS basado en funciones. El commit c361baa añadió una salida temprana para FORBID_ATTR en la línea 1214. La misma corrección no se aplicó a FORBID_TAGS. En las líneas 1118-1123, cuando EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagCheck devuelve true, la evaluación de cortocircuito omite completamente la verificación de FORBID_TAGS. Esto permite que los elementos prohibidos sobrevivan a la sanitización con sus atributos intactos. La versión 3.4.0 corrige el problema."
