symfony/html-sanitizer is a Provides an object-oriented API to sanitize untrusted HTML input for safe insertion into a document's DOM.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information via UrlSanitizer::parse() in the HtmlSanitizer component.
