Arbitrary HTML present after sanitization because of unicode normalization

Impact

If using keep_typographic_whitespace=False (which is the default), the sanitizer normalizes unicode to the NFKC form at the end. Some unicode characters normalize to chevrons; this allows specially crafted HTML to escape sanitization.

Patches

The problem has been fixed in 2.4.2.

Workarounds

Set keep_typographic_whitespace=True explicitly, or normalize to NFKC yourself earlier.
