Please share the text content you used to trigger the XSS.

I've tested with <img src=x onerror=alert('hi') /> on the demo app to verify the rendered HTML is sanitized, and it seems to be correct.

[chriswalg]

you are right, it cannot be reproduced in the large chat window in which all messages are displayed. i can only reproduce it in the small chat window.

Please share a screenshot. Also, what do you mean by the small chat window? Thanks!
