Summary
Details

'sanitize-html' prior to version 1.0.3 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). The function 'naughtyHref' doesn't properly validate the hyperreference (href) attribute in anchor tags (<a>), allowing bypasses that contain different casings, whitespace characters, or hexadecimal encodings.
