Potential fix for https://github.com/aka76bm/node/security/code-scanning/134
The best way to fix this issue is to ensure that all HTML comment blocks are completely removed—even if new comment boundaries are exposed after partial replacements. This is safely achieved by repeatedly applying the regex replacement until no further changes occur. In the context of the code, update line 381 to use a loop: continue replacing
<!--.*?-->with an empty string until the string stabilizes and no instances remain. This fix preserves all existing functionality, only strengthening sanitization, and should be applied at the point where.replace(/<!--.*?-->/sg, '')is currently used. No new imports or library dependencies are required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
