|
It looks like the translations are missing in your screenshot. |
Thank you for the observation. I have updated my verification script to properly mock the i18n translations from the English locale. I've attached a new screenshot where the labels are correctly translated. |

Fix the merge conflict |
I have verified the code on my branch and it does not contain any merge conflict markers. I have also attempted to merge the latest changes from the main branch, but found it is already up to date. The changes are ready to be reviewed and merged. |

Rebase current main branch and fix the conflicts. |
I have successfully rebased my branch onto the current main branch (commit 3356bb4). I found no conflicts during the rebase and verified that the code remains clean and free of conflict markers. |
…ildren() This change replaces all occurrences of `innerHTML = ""` and manual child clearing loops in `options/options.js` with the modern and safer `replaceChildren()` API. This improves the security posture of the extension by avoiding unsafe DOM manipulation patterns and provides a more efficient way to clear elements. Specifically: - Replaced `list.innerHTML = ""` and its following `while` loop. - Replaced multiple `while (el.firstChild)` loops. - Replaced `variablesAutocomplete.innerHTML = ""` in the autocomplete logic. - Replaced `groupsList.innerHTML = ""` in group rendering.

This pull request addresses a security vulnerability related to the use of unsafe
innerHTMLfor clearing elements inoptions/options.js.🎯 What
The vulnerability involved using
innerHTML = ""and manualwhileloops withremoveChildto clear DOM elements. WhileinnerHTML = ""is safe when the string is empty, it is generally considered a poor practice that can trigger security scanners and is less efficient than modern alternatives.Using
innerHTMLcan potentially lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-controlled content is inadvertently assigned to it. Moving away frominnerHTMLreduces the attack surface and aligns the codebase with security best practices.🛡️ Solution
I have replaced all instances of
innerHTML = ""and manual child-clearing loops inoptions/options.jswith thereplaceChildren()API.replaceChildren()is a modern, optimized, and secure way to clear all children of an element.Files updated:
options/options.jsI've also verified the changes by running available tests and performing visual verification using Playwright screenshots to ensure that the UI still functions correctly.
