Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Validation message summaries and details were injected into the rendered output without consistent HTML escaping, allowing malicious user input to execute arbitrary script in the victim's browser context.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): The lack of default HTML escaping in rendering utilities for multiple notify-family components (such as notify, notifyMessage, and notifyMessages) exposed the application to structural XSS injection vectors from untrusted validation sources.
