CVE-2026-65912 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. DOMPurify before 3.3.2 contains a URI validation bypass vulnerability when ADD_ATTR is provided as a predicate function via EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.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.. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
