Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses security concerns related to how DOM elements are queried and how HTML content is rendered within tooltips. By enforcing stricter scoping for selectors and introducing a sanitization step for dynamic content, the changes reduce the risk of malicious script execution and improve the robustness of the UI components.

Highlights

  • Security Hardening: Implemented a sanitization layer for tooltip content using DOMPurify to prevent potential XSS vulnerabilities.
  • DOM Query Optimization: Updated various Bootstrap components to use $(document).find(selector) instead of direct jQuery selector calls to prevent unexpected DOM element reinterpretation.
New Features

🧠 You can now enable Memory (public preview) to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Code Review

This pull request updates Bootstrap JS files to use $(document).find(selector) instead of $(selector) and introduces HTML sanitization for tooltips using DOMPurify. The review feedback highlights two critical issues: first, calling $(document).find() with a falsy selector will throw a SyntaxError in jQuery, so guards must be added to return an empty jQuery collection instead; second, sanitizing tooltip content when html is false can cause regressions by stripping plain text characters, so sanitization should only be applied when html is true.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.

If selector is falsy (e.g., undefined or ""), calling $(document).find(selector) will throw a SyntaxError in jQuery (unlike $(selector) which safely returns an empty jQuery collection). To prevent runtime errors when data-target or href are missing or empty, we should guard the call and return an empty jQuery object if selector is falsy.

Sanitizing the tooltip title when html is false can cause unexpected regressions. For example, plain text tooltips containing characters like < or > (or custom tag-like text) might have their content stripped or corrupted by DOMPurify. Since jQuery's .text() method already safely escapes HTML characters, we should only apply sanitizeHtml when this.options.html is true.

Suggested change
$tip.find('.tooltip-inner')[this.options.html ? 'html' : 'text'](sanitizeHtml(title))
$tip.find('.tooltip-inner')[this.options.html ? 'html' : 'text'](this.options.html ? sanitizeHtml(title) : title)

Code Review

This pull request updates several Bootstrap JavaScript components to query elements using $(document).find(selector) instead of direct jQuery selections, and introduces HTML sanitization for tooltips using DOMPurify. The review feedback correctly highlights that passing empty, null, or undefined selectors to $(document).find() will throw jQuery syntax errors, and recommends adding truthy guards to prevent runtime crashes. Additionally, the feedback suggests adding a type check in the sanitizeHtml function to ensure only string values are passed to DOMPurify.sanitize.

If string is not of type 'string' (e.g., undefined, null, or an object), passing it directly to DOMPurify.sanitize might cause unexpected behavior, such as returning the string "undefined" or throwing a TypeError depending on the DOMPurify version.
