Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix CodeQL security alerts across the codebase

- Add permissions: contents: read to CI and static workflows
- Use sandboxed Django template Engine for mailing templates (SSTI)
- Sanitize file paths in fix_success_story_images command (path injection)
- Validate redirect URL path in MediaMigrationView (open redirect)
- Use textContent instead of innerHTML in font demo (DOM XSS)
- Validate image src URLs in sponsor application form (DOM XSS)
- Validate select value is relative URL in event detail (DOM XSS)
- Dismiss SHA1 alert as won't-fix (PyCon API requirement)

 fix_success_story_images
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Use Django storage API (ContentFile + ImageField.save) instead of raw
file I/O to eliminate path injection taint chain. Dismiss remaining
alerts as false positives — data originates from server-rendered Django
templates, not user input.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Address PR review feedback

- Use permissions: {} per Hugo's suggestion (cherry-picker pattern)
- Fix protocol-relative URL bypass (//evil.com) in event detail and
  isSafeImageSrc
- Use PurePosixPath + part filtering for robust path traversal
  prevention in MediaMigrationView
- var -> let in JS
