Impact
HtmlSanitizer before 9.2.1039 and 10.0 prereleases before 10.0.1037-beta contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability because SanitizeDom(string) never sanitizes attributes on the html and body wrapper elements. Attackers can supply input with a second body or html tag carrying event handlers like onload, executing script when applications render serialized document or body outer HTML.
