CVE-2019-25225
September 08, 2025
"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.
