DOMPurify ADD_ATTR predicate skips URI validation
## Summary DOMPurify allows `ADD_ATTR` to be provided as a predicate function via `EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.attributeCheck`. When the predicate returns `true`, `_isValidAttribute` short-circuits the attribute check before URI-safe validation runs. An attacker who supplies a predicate that accepts specific attribute/tag combinations can then sanitize input such as `<a href="javascript:alert(document.domain)">` and have the `javascript:` URL survive, because URI validation is skipped for that attribute while other checks still pass. The provided PoC accepts `href` for anchors and then triggers a click inside an iframe, showing that the sanitized payload executes despite the protocol bypass. ## Impact Predicate-based allowlisting bypasses DOMPurify's URI validation, allowing unsafe protocols such as `javascript:` to reach the DOM and execute whenever the link is activated, resulting in DOM-based XSS. ## Credits Identified by Cantina’s Apex (https://www.cantina.security).
