Summary Phlex XSS protection bypass via attribute splatting, dynamic tags, and href values During a security audit conducted with Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3-Codex, we identified three specific ways to bypass the XSS (cross-site-scripting) protection built into Phlex. 1. The first bypass could happen if user-provided attributes with string keys were splatted into HTML tag, e.g. `div(**user_attributes)`. 2. The second bypass could happen if user-provided tag names were passed to the `tag` method, e.g. `tag(some_tag_name_from_user)`. 3. The third bypass could happen if user’s links were passed to `href` attributes, e.g. `a(href: user_provided_link)`. All three of these patterns are meant to be safe and all have now been patched.
