🎯 What: Fixed a potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in
src/pages/app-audit.astrowhere user-provided data (app name and cost) was injected into the DOM via string interpolation intoinnerHTML.h()which may not have been robust enough for all contexts, and thecostvariable was completely unescaped. This could have allowed a malicious user to craft a specific input (e.g., via a customized link or if this data was ever persisted/shared) that would execute arbitrary JavaScript in another user's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or unauthorized actions.🛡️ Solution: Replaced the vulnerable
innerHTMLassignment with safe, native DOM manipulation methods (document.createElement,appendChild, and setting properties like.valueand.textContent). By using properties like.value, the browser treats the input strictly as data, entirely mitigating the risk of executing injected HTML or script tags. Additionally, the customh()escaping is no longer needed when setting.value, preventing double-escaping issues.PR created automatically by Jules for task 15130915846869162552 started by @lsb11
