    • Learn how to configure the glide.translated_html.sanitize_all_fields property to the secure value to ensure that all translated_html elements are sanitized with an HTML sanitizer.

    When the glide.translated_html.sanitize_all_fields system property is set to the value true, all translated_html elements will be sanitized using an HTML sanitizer. When the property is set to false, an element will only be sanitized if a dictionary attribute, html_sanitize, is set to true.

    Ensure that the Glide Property glide.translated_html.sanitize_all_fields is set to the value true.
