A security researcher has demonstrated how CSS sanitizers can fail to prevent malicious code execution within web browsers. PortSwigger's findings reveal that seemingly safe CSS can be transformed into attack vectors by the browser itself, leading to issues like token exfiltration, UI hijacking, and AI prompt injection. The research emphasizes the need to threat-model the entire process from CSS sanitization to browser rendering, not just the sanitizer's output. AI
IMPACT AI prompt injection is a newly identified risk, highlighting the need for robust security in AI-integrated applications.
