    "Use the advisory text as ground truth: the issue is specifically that predicate-based attribute acceptance skips later URI validation.",
    "The benchmark checkout was supplied as tag `3.3.2` even though the advisory metadata states `<= 3.3.1` is vulnerable and `3.3.2` is first patched; judge findings against the described sink behavior, not against speculative version claims."

      "rationale": "Correctly identifies the vulnerable subsystem and sink-bearing path in `src/purify.ts`, centering the issue on `_isValidAttribute` and the predicate-based allow path for `EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.attributeCheck` / functional `ADD_ATTR`. This matches the advisory’s expected components very closely."

      "score": 29,
      "rationale": "Provides the required reasoning that attacker-controlled markup with `href=\"javascript:...\"` reaches `_isValidAttribute`, that the custom predicate returns true based on attribute/tag, and that this short-circuits later URI/protocol validation before returning true. This is the core advisory mechanism."

      "key": "impact-and-exploitability",
      "score": 18,
      "rationale": "Impact is described credibly as DOM-based XSS via preserved `javascript:` URLs in sanitized output, which is proportional and grounded in code. Slight deduction because the narrative broadens to other attributes like `src` and `action` without the same level of code-specific support as the anchor `href` case called out in the answer key."

      "key": "evidence-quality",
      "score": 9,
      "rationale": "Cites concrete file paths, specific code regions, and the call site where invalid attributes are removed. The evidence is specific and code-focused. Minor deduction because the line ranges are presented somewhat schematically rather than with fuller code context tying `ADD_ATTR` to `EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.attributeCheck`."

      "key": "overclaim-control",
      "score": 8,
      "rationale": "Avoids forbidden claims such as RCE/SQLi/SSRF and stays within DOM-based XSS. Minor deduction for somewhat expansive language suggesting an array of execution-associated attributes beyond the strongly supported `href`/anchor scenario in the advisory."

  "strengths": [
    "Accurately identifies the predicate-based attribute acceptance path as the vulnerability.",
    "Explicitly explains the short-circuit before normal URI/protocol validation, which is the key advisory fact.",
    "Names the correct file (`src/purify.ts`) and relevant function (`_isValidAttribute`).",
    "Provides a plausible reproduction using functional `ADD_ATTR` and a `javascript:` URL in `href`."
  ],
  "misses": [
    "Could more explicitly tie functional `ADD_ATTR` to the internal `EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.attributeCheck` setup path rather than mainly discussing the latter as the sink condition.",
    "Broadens impact to additional attributes (`src`, `action`) without equivalent concrete evidence in the report."
