Documented historical AppSec case study.// comment text parsed directly as HTML
function renderComment(el, comment) {
el.innerHTML =
`${comment}
`;
}

function renderComment(el, comment) {
const p = document.createElement('p');
p.textContent = comment;

grep -rn "\.innerHTML\s*=" --include="*.js" --include="*.ts" .
grep -rn "dangerouslySetInnerHTML" --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" .
react/no-danger and DOMPurify for cases where HTML formatting is genuinely required.No. CSP provides defense-in-depth, but output encoding remains the primary defense.
