+# Security - XSS Protection
+
+This document outlines the XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) protection measures implemented in this application.
+
+## Overview
+
+All external data from the CMS API is sanitized using DOMPurify before being rendered to prevent XSS attacks.
+
+## Sanitization Functions
+
+Located in `lib/sanitize.ts`:
+
+### `sanitizeText()`
+
+Strips all HTML tags from text. Use this for plain text content that should never contain HTML.
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeText } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+
+// Example usage
+<h1>{sanitizeText(cmsData?.title)}</h1>;
+```
+
+### `sanitizeHtml()`
+
+Allows specific HTML tags while removing dangerous content. Use this when you need to render formatted text.
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeHtml } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+
+// Example usage with default allowed tags (b, i, em, strong, a, br, p)
+<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: sanitizeHtml(cmsData?.content) }} />
+
+// Example with custom allowed tags
+<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: sanitizeHtml(cmsData?.content, ["p", "br"]) }} />
+```
+
+### `sanitizeUrl()`
+
+Sanitizes URLs to prevent javascript:, data:, and vbscript: URI attacks.
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeUrl } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+
+// Example usage
+<Link href={sanitizeUrl(cmsData?.link) || "#"}>Click here</Link>
+<Image src={sanitizeUrl(cmsData?.imageUrl) || "/fallback.svg"} />
+```
+
+## Protected Areas
+
+The following components have been secured:
+
+1. **Marketing Pages** (`app/marketing/[id]/page.tsx`)
+
+   - Hero section (title, description, button text, links)
+   - Features section (titles, descriptions, icons)
+   - Challenges section (titles, descriptions, icons)
+   - Advantages section (titles, descriptions, icons)
+   - Footer (email, phone, location, tagline, copyright)
+
+2. **Inquiries Form** (`app/_inquires/form.tsx`, `app/_inquires/page.tsx`)
+   - Form field labels and placeholders
+   - Submit button text
+   - Section titles and descriptions
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always sanitize external data** - Any data from APIs, databases, or user input should be sanitized
+2. **Use the right function** - Use `sanitizeText()` for plain text, `sanitizeUrl()` for URLs, and `sanitizeHtml()` for formatted content
+3. **Validate on the server** - While client-side sanitization helps, always validate and sanitize on the server as well
+4. **Keep DOMPurify updated** - Regularly update the DOMPurify package to get the latest security fixes
+
+## Server-Side Rendering
+
+The sanitization functions work in both client and server environments:
+
+- **Server-side**: Uses HTML entity escaping to prevent XSS attacks
+- **Client-side**: Uses DOMPurify for advanced HTML sanitization
+
+This hybrid approach ensures:
+
+1. Fast server-side rendering without heavy dependencies
+2. Robust client-side protection with DOMPurify
+3. No build issues with Node.js-specific modules
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `dompurify` (^3.3.0) - HTML sanitization library (client-side only)
+
+## Testing XSS Protection
+
+To verify XSS protection is working, try injecting malicious content through the CMS:
+
+```javascript
+// These should be sanitized and rendered harmless:
+<script>alert('XSS')</script>
+<img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')>
+javascript:alert('XSS')
+<iframe src="javascript:alert('XSS')"></iframe>
+```
+
+All of these should be stripped or neutralized by the sanitization functions.

+# XSS Protection Usage Examples
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Sanitizing Text Content
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeText } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+
+// In a component
+function MyComponent({ cmsData }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{sanitizeText(cmsData.title)}</h1>
+      <p>{sanitizeText(cmsData.description)}</p>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Sanitizing URLs
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeUrl } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+import Link from "next/link";
+import Image from "next/image";
+
+function MyComponent({ cmsData }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {/* For links */}
+      <Link href={sanitizeUrl(cmsData.link) || "#"}>Click here</Link>
+
+      {/* For images */}
+      <Image
+        src={sanitizeUrl(cmsData.imageUrl) || "/fallback.svg"}
+        alt={sanitizeText(cmsData.imageAlt)}
+        width={100}
+        height={100}
+      />
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Sanitizing HTML Content
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeHtml } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+
+function MyComponent({ cmsData }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {/* With default allowed tags (b, i, em, strong, a, br, p) */}
+      <div
+        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
+          __html: sanitizeHtml(cmsData.richContent),
+        }}
+      />
+
+      {/* With custom allowed tags */}
+      <div
+        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
+          __html: sanitizeHtml(cmsData.richContent, ["p", "br", "strong"]),
+        }}
+      />
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Real-World Examples
+
+### Example 1: Dynamic Marketing Page
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeText, sanitizeUrl } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+
+export default function MarketingPage({ cmsData }) {
+  return (
+    <main>
+      <section>
+        <h1>{sanitizeText(cmsData.hero.title)}</h1>
+        <p>{sanitizeText(cmsData.hero.description)}</p>
+        <Link href={sanitizeUrl(cmsData.hero.buttonLink) || "#"}>
+          {sanitizeText(cmsData.hero.buttonText)}
+        </Link>
+      </section>
+
+      <section>
+        {cmsData.features.map((feature) => (
+          <article key={feature.id}>
+            <Image
+              src={sanitizeUrl(feature.icon) || "/default-icon.svg"}
+              alt={sanitizeText(feature.title)}
+              width={48}
+              height={48}
+            />
+            <h3>{sanitizeText(feature.title)}</h3>
+            <p>{sanitizeText(feature.description)}</p>
+          </article>
+        ))}
+      </section>
+    </main>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Dynamic Form Fields
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeText } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+import { useForm } from "react-hook-form";
+
+export default function DynamicForm({ contactData }) {
+  const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm();
+
+  return (
+    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
+      {contactData.fields.map((field) => (
+        <div key={field.name}>
+          <label htmlFor={field.name}>{sanitizeText(field.label)}</label>
+          <input
+            id={field.name}
+            placeholder={sanitizeText(field.placeholder)}
+            {...register(field.name)}
+          />
+        </div>
+      ))}
+      <button type="submit">
+        {sanitizeText(contactData.submitButtonText)}
+      </button>
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: User-Generated Content
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeHtml } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+
+export default function CommentSection({ comments }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {comments.map((comment) => (
+        <article key={comment.id}>
+          <h4>{sanitizeText(comment.author)}</h4>
+          {/* Allow only basic formatting tags */}
+          <div
+            dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
+              __html: sanitizeHtml(comment.content, [
+                "p",
+                "br",
+                "em",
+                "strong",
+              ]),
+            }}
+          />
+        </article>
+      ))}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Common XSS Attack Vectors (All Blocked)
+
+```typescript
+// These malicious inputs will be sanitized:
+
+// 1. Script injection
+const xss1 = "<script>alert('XSS')</script>";
+sanitizeText(xss1); // Safe: &lt;script&gt;alert('XSS')&lt;/script&gt;
+
+// 2. Event handler injection
+const xss2 = "<img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')>";
+sanitizeText(xss2); // Safe: &lt;img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')&gt;
+
+// 3. JavaScript URL
+const xss3 = "javascript:alert('XSS')";
+sanitizeUrl(xss3); // Returns: ""
+
+// 4. Data URL with script
+const xss4 = "data:text/html,<script>alert('XSS')</script>";
+sanitizeUrl(xss4); // Returns: ""
+
+// 5. Iframe injection
+const xss5 = "<iframe src='javascript:alert(1)'></iframe>";
+sanitizeText(xss5); // Safe: &lt;iframe src='javascript:alert(1)'&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always sanitize external data** before rendering
+2. **Use the appropriate function** for the content type
+3. **Provide fallback values** for URLs and optional content
+4. **Never trust user input** or external API data
+5. **Keep dependencies updated** to get latest security patches
+
+## When NOT to Sanitize
+
+- Static content defined in your codebase
+- Environment variables (but validate them)
+- Data from trusted internal APIs (but still validate)
+- Constants and configuration values
+
+## Testing Your Sanitization
+
+```typescript
+// Test with malicious input
+const testData = {
+  title: "<script>alert('XSS')</script>Hello",
+  link: "javascript:alert('XSS')",
+  description: "<img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')>",
+};
+
+// All should be safe
+console.log(sanitizeText(testData.title)); // No script execution
+console.log(sanitizeUrl(testData.link)); // Empty string
+console.log(sanitizeText(testData.description)); // No image/script
+```

+# ✓ Collecting page data
+# ✓ Generating static pages (7/7)
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `dompurify` (^3.3.0) - Already installed
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeText, sanitizeUrl, sanitizeHtml } from "@/lib/sanitize";
+
+// Plain text
+<h1>{sanitizeText(cmsData.title)}</h1>
+
+// URLs
+<Link href={sanitizeUrl(cmsData.link) || "#"}>Click</Link>
+
+// HTML content
+<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: sanitizeHtml(cmsData.content) }} />
+```
+
+## Next Steps (Optional)
+
+1. Add unit tests for sanitization functions
+2. Set up automated security scanning
+3. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
+4. Add rate limiting for form submissions
+5. Implement CSRF protection for forms
+
+## Verification
+
+To verify XSS protection is working, try injecting malicious content through the CMS:
+
+```javascript
+// These will be sanitized:
+<script>alert('XSS')</script>
+<img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')>
+javascript:alert('XSS')
+```
+
+All malicious content will be escaped or removed before rendering.
