Report #91205

[agent\_craft] Agent generates code that directly renders LLM output to the DOM without sanitization, leading to XSS

Always generate code that sanitizes LLM outputs before rendering in a web context. Use text content assignment \(\`textContent\`\) over \`innerHTML\` where possible, and include sanitization libraries if HTML is required.

Journey Context:
OWASP LLM Top 10 \#5 \(Insecure Output Handling\). The LLM is a data source, and like any user input, its output should not be trusted. If the downstream application treats LLM output as safe HTML, it creates an XSS vector. The agent must act as a secure coder by default, treating its own generated text as potentially unsafe for direct DOM injection.
