Affected packages

Description
Impact
A mutation XSS affects users calling `bleach.clean` with `noscript` and a raw tag (see below) in the allowed/whitelisted tags option.
Patches

Workarounds
• modify `bleach.clean` calls to not whitelist `noscript` and one or more of the following raw tags:
```
title

style
noembed
noframes

xmp
```
• A strong Content-Security-Policy without `unsafe-inline` and `unsafe-eval` `script-src`s) will also help mitigate the risk.
