The BlogPost component used dangerouslySetInnerHTML without sanitization, allowing XSS attacks through malicious markdown content.

Changes

Security Fix

  • Added isomorphic-dompurify for HTML sanitization
  • Wrapped all dangerouslySetInnerHTML content with DOMPurify.sanitize()
// Before
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: content }} />

// After
import DOMPurify from 'isomorphic-dompurify'
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: DOMPurify.sanitize(content) }} />

Dependency Updates

  • Next.js → 15.5.9 (fixes critical RCE CVE)
  • mdast-util-to-hast, js-yaml, glob (security patches)

Markdown Processing

  • Added markdownToHtml() function using remark/remark-html
  • Created getPostBySlug() for proper content conversion

Documentation

  • SECURITY.md: vulnerability details and reporting process
  • REACT2SHELL_FIX.md: technical analysis and mitigation strategy

Verification

  • npm audit: 0 vulnerabilities
  • CodeQL: 0 alerts
