You can design a secure configuration struct by defining fields for allowed tags, attributes, and URL schemes, alongside document size limits and nesting depth controls. This establishes a baseline to prevent vulnerabilities when handling user-uploaded content.

Security configurations for user-uploaded content should include HTML sanitization rules, maximum document size limits, nesting depth controls, allowed tags and attributes, URL scheme restrictions, and options to strip SVG and comments to ensure safety.

Implement secure default values by initializing your configuration struct with strict, safe baseline parameters, then providing a builder pattern to allow custom configurations. This ensures applications remain secure by default before custom settings are applied.

Yes, you can customize allowed tags and URL schemes using a configuration builder pattern. This supports whitelists and strict mode options, providing fine-grained control over the security settings beyond the secure defaults.

The best way to enforce strict mode and whitelists is through a configuration builder pattern that supports fine-grained control over allowed tags, attributes, and URL schemes. This approach ensures only explicitly permitted content passes validation.

Stripping SVG and comments in a safety configuration prevents potential cross-site scripting vectors and malicious payloads hidden within seemingly benign content. This ensures robust HTML sanitization when processing user-uploaded documents.
