    "because ALLOWED_ATTR is an Array, inherited Array.prototype properties can satisfy the allowlist check for dangerous names such as onclick",

      "rationale": "Correctly identifies the DOMPurify USE_PROFILES path, src/purify.ts, and the ALLOWED_ATTR allowlist lookup as central to the issue. However, it does not cleanly pin the advisory-specific detail that USE_PROFILES rebuilds ALLOWED_ATTR as a plain Array, and it broadens the condition to Object.prototype/Object.prototype inheritance in a way the answer key does not require."

    {
      "key": "source-to-sink-reasoning",
      "score": 25,
      "rationale": "The report gives the essential chain: attacker-controlled prototype pollution adds an event-handler name, USE_PROFILES rebuilds the allowlist, later ALLOWED_ATTR[lcName] lookup treats the polluted property as allowed, and the event handler survives sanitization to produce XSS on render. This is materially the right reasoning, though it is weakened by ambiguity over whether the relevant inherited property is from Array.prototype specifically or Object.prototype generally."

      "key": "impact-and-exploitability",
      "score": 16,
      "rationale": "Impact is correctly framed as a sanitization bypass leading to DOM-based XSS, and the submission keeps the prototype-pollution precondition in scope. It does not make forbidden claims like RCE or SSRF. Minor deductions for some hand-wavy phrasing around how the prototype pollution is obtained."

      "key": "evidence-quality",
      "score": 2,
      "rationale": "Evidence quality is poor. The only quoted evidence is contradictory to the answer key, asserting ALLOWED_ATTR = create(null) and then explicitly admitting the exact code evidence still needs to be found. The report lacks concrete code excerpts or precise proof for the advisory-specific Array reconstruction behavior."

      "key": "overclaim-control",
      "score": 4,
      "rationale": "The submission mostly avoids major overclaims, but it repeatedly generalizes the issue to Object.prototype pollution and says 'depending on how the profile resets things,' which is speculative and not grounded in the advisory's Array-specific mechanism. The contradictory evidence note is also a red flag for unsupported assertions."
