This skill exists so the review stays anchored to these documented, concrete sinks instead of drifting into a general \"Angular code review\" — it does not re-litigate change detection, signals architecture, or component design in every response.</p>\n<h2>When to use</h2>\n<p>Use this skill when the user asks to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>review whether a <code>bypassSecurityTrustHtml</code>, <code>bypassSecurityTrustUrl</code>, or <code>bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl</code> call is safe,</li>\n<li>assess whether an <code>[innerHTML]</code> binding is safe,</li>\n<li>review an <code>&lt;iframe&gt;</code> embed for a dynamically bound security attribute (<code>[attr.sandbox]</code>, <code>[sandbox]</code>, <code>[attr.allow]</code>, <code>[attr.credentialless]</code>) or an NG0910 error,</li>\n<li>perform a pre-launch security review of Angular templates that render user- or third-party-supplied content.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Do not use this skill for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Angular architecture review with no security angle (signals usage, change-detection strategy, component decomposition quality) — use <code>angular-architecture-signals-review</code> instead,</li>\n<li>SSR/hydration-specific defects (<code>TransferState</code> leakage, hydration mismatches) — use <code>angular-ssr-hydration-review</code> instead,</li>\n<li>a bug that requires live traffic reproduction (a captured XSS payload in a running app, a browser-based exploit proof) to confirm exploitation — static analysis proves the structural risk, not that it has already been exploited in production.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Context7 Documentation Protocol</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Resolve the Angular library ID with <code>resolve-library-id</code> (matched result: <code>/angular/angular</code>) before citing any sanitizer-mechanism or NG0910 claim.</li>\n<li><code>/angular/angular</code> is Angular's own source-and-docs repository (high reputation, corroborated against <code>packages/platform-browser/src/security/dom_sanitization_service.ts</code>, <code>packages/core/src/sanitization/html_sanitizer.ts</code>, <code>packages/core/src/render3/instructions/shared.ts</code>, and <code>adev/src/content/reference/errors/NG0910.md</code>). Use <code>query-docs</code> against it to confirm low-level sanitizer mechanics directly from source: that <code>bypassSecurityTrustHtml</code> (and its URL/resource-URL siblings) mark a value trusted so <code>sanitize()</code> skips the HTML/URL sanitizer and returns the value unchanged, that property bindings like <code>[innerHTML]</code> accept a compiler-added sanitizer function that only risky properties receive, and that text interpolation instead calls <code>renderer.setValue()</code> on a text node — a path that never parses HTML and needs no sanitizer.</li>\n<li>Before flagging a <code>[attr.sandbox]</code>/<code>[sandbox]</code>/<code>[attr.allow]</code>/<code>[attr.credentialless]</code> binding, confirm Angular's own NG0910 check: these attributes are documented as required to be static (fixed at element-creation time) because they configure the iframe's security model before <code>src</code>/<code>srcdoc</code> load — a dynamic binding either throws NG0910 in dev or, if that check is suppressed, lets a runtime value weaken the sandbox.</li>\n<li>Read the component's imports first to confirm <code>DomSanitizer</code> (from <code>@angular/platform-browser</code>) is actually in use before assuming a bypass call exists — do not assume a project uses the bypass APIs without confirming the import and call site.</li>\n<li>If Context7 is unavailable, fall back to the <code>official_docs</code> URLs in this skill's <code>metadata.json</code> and label the claim <code>documentation-based, unverified against current release</code>.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Lean operating rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Injection findings default to HIGH severity. This is a security-scoped skill: do not downgrade an untraced <code>bypassSecurityTrustHtml</code>/<code>bypassSecurityTrustUrl</code>/<code>bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl</code> call or an unsanitized <code>[innerHTML]</code> binding to MEDIUM just because it has not been observed exploited yet — the risk is in the structure, not in whether someone has already hit it.</li>\n<li>Trace every finding to a concrete file:line and a concrete data-flow path. A finding that says \"this bypass call might be unsafe\" or \"this innerHTML might be risky\" without showing the specific origin (route param, query string, request body, or a third-party API response that itself echoes user input) and the specific sink is not a valid finding — it is a guess.</li>\n<li>Do not approve any <code>bypassSecurityTrustHtml</code>, <code>bypassSecurityTrustUrl</code>, or <code>bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl</code> call whose input includes user-reachable data unless the trace shows the value was validated or sanitized on that exact path before the bypass call — the bypass APIs are intentional escape hatches from Angular's compiler-driven sanitization, not accidental gaps, so their mere presence is not evidence of prior review.</li>\n<li>Do not approve an <code>[innerHTML]</code> binding fed by user-reachable input unless a named sanitizer call (e.g., <code>DomSanitizer.sanitize(SecurityContext.HTML, ...)</code>, or a project-specific equivalent) is visibly present on that exact data-flow path. A sanitizer import existing elsewhere in the codebase does not clear this bar — trace the specific path under review.</li>\n<li>Flag any <code>[attr.sandbox]</code>, <code>[sandbox]</code>, <code>[attr.allow]</code>, or <code>[attr.credentialless]</code> binding on an <code>&lt;iframe&gt;</code> as a finding regardless of whether NG0910 is currently thrown in the reviewed environment — a suppressed or bypassed dev-mode check does not make the underlying dynamic-security-attribute pattern safe in production.</li>\n<li>Check dynamic <code>[href]</code>/<code>[src]</code> bindings fed through <code>bypassSecurityTrustUrl</code>/<code>bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl</code> for scheme validation (an allowlist rejecting <code>javascript:</code> and other non-<code>http(s)</code> schemes) on the traced path before the bypass call — the bypass call itself performs no validation.</li>\n<li>Never execute, build, or run application code, and never send live requests, as part of this review; this is a static-review skill (Read/Grep/Glob only).</li>\n<li>Load only the reference needed for the concern in scope.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<p>Load these only when needed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/workflow-and-output.md\">Review workflow and findings contract</a> — use for the step-by-step review procedure, the sanitizer-bypass/innerHTML/iframe decision tree, and the required output shape.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/sanitizer-bypass-and-innerhtml.md\">DomSanitizer bypass calls and innerHTML</a> — load only when the review scope includes a <code>bypassSecurityTrustHtml</code>/<code>bypassSecurityTrustUrl</code>/<code>bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl</code> call or an <code>[innerHTML]</code> binding.
