# Missing handling for SVG animateTransform, animateMotion, and animateColor

> The neutralization ammonia applied to the SVG animate and set elements was not applied to animateTransform, animateMotion and animateColor, so these could set an href to a javascript: URL and lead to stored XSS in applications that allow those tags. Fixed in 4.1.7 and 4.2.3. Reported by email to the maintainer.
