The OWASP AntiSamy project is a collection of APIs for safely allowing users to supply their own HTML
and CSS without exposing the site to XSS vulnerabilities.
In OWASP AntiSamy before 1.5.5, by submitting a specially crafted input (a tag that supports style with active content), you could bypass the library protections and supply executable code. The impact is XSS.
:heavy_check_mark: This issue was automatically closed by Mend because the vulnerable library in the specific branch(es) was either marked as ignored or it is no longer part of the Mend inventory.
