🎯 What: The vulnerability fixed is Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via set:html with JSON.stringify within Astro <script type="application/ld+json"> tags.
⚠️ Risk: If a JSON-LD schema contained HTML control characters (e.g., closing script tags like </script>), JSON.stringify would not escape them, potentially allowing an attacker to break out of the JSON block and inject malicious scripts.
🛡️ Solution: Implemented src/utils/safeJson.ts exporting safeJsonStringify, which serializes JSON and subsequently replaces <, >, and & with their Unicode equivalents. Replaced all raw JSON.stringify calls within set:html for application/ld+json tags across the codebase with this secure utility function. Added optional chaining to handle edge cases where JSON.stringify returns undefined.

Creates a `safeJsonStringify` utility that replaces HTML control characters (`<`, `>`, `&`) with unicode escapes, and refactors all instances of `<script type="application/ld+json" set:html={JSON.stringify(s)} />` to use this utility.

Creates a `safeJsonStringify` utility that safely replaces HTML control characters (`<`, `>`, `&`) with unicode escapes, handling `undefined` gracefully. It also refactors all instances of `<script type="application/ld+json" set:html={JSON.stringify(s)} />` to use this safe utility to mitigate XSS risks.
