fix: add output encoding in index.html

[anupamme]

Summary

Fix high severity security issue in docs/index.html.

Vulnerability

Field	Value
ID	V-001
Severity	HIGH
Scanner	multi_agent_ai
Rule	V-001
File	docs/index.html:593
Assessment	Likely exploitable
CWE	CWE-79
Chain Complexity	3-step

Description: Zumly's view loading system fetches HTML content from URLs and inserts it into the DOM without sanitization. The README explicitly warns: 'Remote views: URL-backed views use innerHTML; sanitize external content to avoid XSS.' This is a documented security consideration for applications that load views from untrusted sources.

Evidence

Exploitation scenario: An attacker who can perform a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack on the connection or compromise the server hosting view HTML files could inject malicious JavaScript.

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-001 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Threat Model Context

This is a Node.js library - vulnerabilities affect downstream consumers who use this package.

@anupamme thank you!!! I will check and merge

Thanks for the PR, but I'm going to close this one.

The fetch in question loads views/api.html, a static file from the same
origin as the docs site itself. Anyone able to tamper with that response
(MITM, compromised host) could just as easily modify index.html directly,
so sanitizing the fetched view doesn't add any protection.

The threat model in the description is also off: docs/index.html is not
part of the npm package (see the files field in package.json), so nothing
here reaches downstream consumers. The README note about innerHTML is
guidance for apps that load untrusted remote views, not a bug in the docs.

On top of that, the change strips every on* attribute, which removes the
onclick="toggleTheme()" handler from the theme button inside the API view
and leaves it non-functional. Removing <script> tags is a no-op as well,
since innerHTML never executes scripts.

Closing as not applicable.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. You’re right. I conflated Zumly’s documented handling of potentially untrusted remote views with the specific docs/index.html usage here.

I also missed that docs/ isn’t included in the npm package, so the downstream-consumer impact I described was incorrect. And you’re right that sanitising the static same-origin api.html response doesn’t provide meaningful protection against a compromised origin.

I also hadn’t accounted for the onclick="toggleTheme()" handler being removed by the sanitiser, so the proposed change introduces a documentation regression.
