Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

DOMPurify (npm package dompurify) versions 3.4.13 through 3.4.15 can leave event handlers active on subtrees removed by afterSanitize hooks when run in IN_PLACE mode. An attacker who supplies markup to an application that uses IN_PLACE with such a hook can run script in the victim's page (DOM XSS). Upgrade to dompurify 3.4.16, the listed fixed version.
