hotfix: sanitize public form submission data to prevent stored XSS

[mmcintosh]

Summary

Security hotfix: prevents stored XSS via unauthenticated public form submissions. The public form submission endpoint stored arbitrary JSON from anonymous users without sanitization, allowing <script> tags to execute with admin session cookies when viewing submissions.

Changes

1. Input Sanitization for Form Submissions

• Added sanitizeDeep() — recursively HTML-encodes all string values in arbitrary nested JSON (objects, arrays, primitives)
• Applied before storage in form_submissions table — <script> becomes <script>, "onload= becomes "onload=, etc.
• Numbers, booleans, and null pass through unchanged
• Uses existing sanitizeInput() from utils/sanitize for the actual encoding

2. Unit Tests

• 5 new tests covering script tag encoding, nested object sanitization, array sanitization, primitive pass-through, and event handler injection patterns

Technical Details

Core Changes:

• packages/core/src/routes/public-forms.ts — sanitizeDeep() function + sanitizeInput import + usage before JSON.stringify storage (+30 lines, -1 line)

New Tests:

• packages/core/src/routes/public-forms.test.ts — 5 unit tests with mocked D1, TurnstileService, and Hono route testing (+218 lines)

Testing

✅ Type Check: PASSED
✅ Unit Tests: PASSED (5 new, all existing passing)
✅ E2E Tests: PASSED (no regression)

New Unit Test Coverage:

• Script tags HTML-encoded in string fields
• Nested objects sanitized recursively (2 levels deep)
• Arrays of strings sanitized element-by-element
• Numbers, booleans, null pass through unchanged
• Event handler injection attempts (onmouseover, onclick, onerror) all encoded

Performance Impact

Metric	Before	After	Impact
Submission processing	baseline	~unchanged	O(n) on total text — negligible

Breaking Changes

Form submission string values stored in form_submissions will have HTML entities encoded. This is a security improvement. If downstream consumers need raw values, they should HTML-decode.

Migration Notes

No action required. The fix activates immediately. Pre-existing unsanitized submissions are not retroactively modified.

Known Issues

None.
