DOMPurify before 3.3.2 contains a URI validation bypass vulnerability when ADDATTR is provided as a predicate function via EXTRAELEMENTHANDLING.attributeCheck. Attackers can supply a predicate that accepts specific attribute and tag combinations to bypass URI-safe validation, allowing unsafe protocols like javascript: to survive sanitization and execute as DOM-based XSS when the link is activated.
