🎯 What: Fixed an XSS vulnerability where user inputs like attack prompts, target responses, and reasonings were not being escaped when rendered via Streamlit's st.write.
⚠️ Risk: Streamlit's st.write can interpret markdown elements like links or images, which could potentially be abused by a malicious actor injecting markdown, leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) if unsanitized data is provided.
πŸ›‘οΈ Solution: Wrapped all rendering of user-provided markdown content (e.g., case.attack.prompt, verdict.target_response, verdict.reasoning) with the local _escape helper function to sanitize inputs across _render_worst_case_dossier, _render_case_expanders, and _render_target_drilldown.

Use `_escape` to sanitize user inputs like attack prompts, target responses, and reasonings before rendering them with `st.write` in Streamlit. This prevents markdown injection and XSS vulnerabilities.
