How to fix?

Overview

dompurify is a DOM-only XSS sanitizer for HTML, MathML and SVG.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions in the IN_PLACE process when DOM elements are passed from a different window or realm, such as an iframe's contentDocument. An attacker can inject and execute arbitrary scripts by supplying a crafted DOM element from a foreign realm, which bypasses sanitization and leaves malicious payloads intact. This is only exploitable if the application uses the IN_PLACE mode with DOM elements originating from a different window or realm.
