DOMPurify versions >=3.0.0 and before 3.4.8, when configured with SAFEFORTEMPLATES together with a DOM output mode (RETURNDOM, RETURNDOMFRAGMENT, or INPLACE), fail to strip template expressions (e.g. ${evil}, {{evil}}, <%evil%>) inside <template> element content. The final normalization/scrub pass (scrubTemplateExpressions) uses a NodeIterator and node.normalize() that do not descend into template.content, so expressions that only form after adjacent text nodes merge survive sanitization. This bypasses SAFEFOR_TEMPLATES and can allow a downstream template engine to evaluate attacker-supplied expressions. The string output path is not affected.
