+=== Updated the bundled DOMPurify dependency to the latest version
+// #TINYMCE-14556
+
+Previously, {productname} bundled an older version of the DOMPurify sanitization library. Although {productname} was not affected by the published DOMPurify advisories, because they relate to DOMPurify options that {productname} does not use, the outdated version could be flagged by automated security scanners.
+
+In {productname} {release-version}, DOMPurify has been updated to the latest version. This resolves the scanner warnings without changing {productname}'s sanitization behavior.
