Mechanisms¶
- Template or Markup Sandbox
- Its sharpest failure mode is mutation XSS: when a string a sanitizer deemed safe is re-parsed by a different (browser) parser that reads the bytes differently, inert-looking content can re-materialize as active.
This sourceShows how browser DOM mutation can turn filtered, initially harmless markup into active cross-site-scripting content.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
