CVE-2024-23635

AntiSamy is a library for performing fast, configurable cleansing of HTML
coming from untrusted sources. Prior to 1.7.5, there is a potential for a
mutation XSS (mXSS) vulnerability in AntiSamy caused by flawed parsing of
the HTML being sanitized. To be subject to this vulnerability the
preserveComments directive must be enabled in your policy file. As a
result, certain crafty inputs can result in elements in comment tags being
interpreted as executable when using AntiSamy’s sanitized output. Patched
in AntiSamy 1.7.5 and later.
