Security Fixes Suggested via Pull Request – Powered by Autofic 🛠️ Dear Esteemed Developer, My name is Jeongmin Oh, an undergraduate student majoring in Information Security at Gachon University 🇰🇷. I'm currently participating in a university project focused on enhancing software security using a combination of static analysis (SAST) and large language models (LLMs). As part of this initiative, we developed a tool called Autofic, which analyzes public code repositories to detect security vulnerabilities using SAST tools and then generates suggested fixes with the support of LLMs. 🔐 During a recent analysis of your repository, our system identified a few areas that may pose security risks. To assist in addressing them, we have submitted a Pull Request containing proposed patches automatically generated by Autofic. Since this work is part of an academic research project, your review and potential approval would be immensely valuable to us. 🙏 If you have any questions or would like to learn more about how Autofic works, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your time and for your valuable contribution to the open-source community. Best regards, |

🔐 Summary of Security Fixes
Overview
src/theme/Footer/Copyright/index.jssrc/theme/Footer/Links/MultiColumn/index.jssrc/theme/Footer/Links/Simple/index.js1.
src/theme/Footer/Copyright/index.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code uses
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLto insert HTML content into the component. This can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if thecopyrightprop contains malicious user-provided input.🔸 Recommended Fix
Use a sanitization library like DOMPurify to sanitize the HTML content before setting it with
dangerouslySetInnerHTML.🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that DOMPurify is installed in your project by running
npm install dompurify. This change sanitizes the HTML content to remove any potentially harmful scripts or tags, mitigating the risk of XSS attacks.2.
src/theme/Footer/Links/MultiColumn/index.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code uses
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLto directly insert HTML content into the DOM. This can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks if the HTML content is derived from untrusted sources.🔸 Recommended Fix
Use a sanitization library like DOMPurify to sanitize the HTML content before using it with
dangerouslySetInnerHTML.🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that DOMPurify is installed in your project by running
npm install dompurify. This change ensures that any HTML content is sanitized before being inserted into the DOM, mitigating the risk of XSS attacks.3.
src/theme/Footer/Links/Simple/index.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code uses
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLto render HTML content directly into the React component. This can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks if the HTML content is derived from untrusted sources.🔸 Recommended Fix
Use a sanitization library such as DOMPurify to sanitize the HTML content before setting it with
dangerouslySetInnerHTML.🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that DOMPurify is installed in your project by running
npm install dompurify. This change sanitizes the HTML content to prevent XSS attacks while maintaining the original functionality of the code.🛠 Fix Summary
All identified vulnerabilities have been remediated following security best practices such as parameterized queries and proper input validation. Please refer to the diff tab for detailed code changes.
