Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Clickjacking. By enabling the SVG setting without taking other precautions, you might expose your application to click-hijacking attacks. In these attacks, sanitized SVG elements could be positioned outside of the containing element and be rendered over other elements on the page (e.g. a login link). Such behavior can then result in phishing incidents.

To protect against these, explicitly setup overflow: hidden css rule for all potential SVG tags within the sanitized content:

.rootOfTheIncludedContent svg {
  overflow: hidden !important;
}
