Doc Text:
A flaw was found in golang.org/x/net/html. When parsing arbitrary HTML that is subsequently rendered, an unexpected HTML tree can be generated. A remote attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks in applications that attempt to sanitize input HTML before rendering, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-22 16:01:25 UTC 
Parsing arbitrary HTML which is then rendered using Render can result in an unexpected HTML tree. This can be leveraged to execute XSS attacks in applications that attempt to sanitize input HTML before rendering.
