~anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest · winner A · 6:4 · permalink

Side A fixes a real XSS vulnerability by sanitizing untrusted Reddit HTML before rendering, with a clear, minimal, well-tested implementation (dedicated sanitize module with unit tests). Side B improves reliability of Reddit fetching (forcing OAuth, retry-on-401/403) which is valuable but more narrowly operational/infra-focused and adds significant complexity/duplication in error handling; both are legitimate, but A addresses a security-critical defect with lasting design value.

~x-ai/grok-latest · winner B · 3:2 · permalink

B fixes production-critical Reddit fetching by requiring OAuth when credentials exist (no public www fallback that cloud IPs block), with token refresh on 401/403 and clearer auth error handling—core durability for the app’s data path. A is a real, lasting XSS hardening via ammonia at render time with tests, but it is a narrower defense on already-fetched HTML versus B’s broader reliability/design change to the fetch/auth pipeline.

openai/gpt-chat-latest · winner A · 3:2 · permalink

Side A fixes a significant cross-site scripting risk by introducing centralized HTML sanitization with `ammonia` before rendering Reddit `body_html`, updating both rendering paths to use `entity_body_html`, and adding tests to verify benign markup is preserved while scripts and event handlers are removed. Side B improves Reddit API reliability by requiring OAuth when configured, retrying after 401/403 with token refresh, and improving error handling, but its impact is narrower to deployment and API interactions, whereas the security hardening in Side A provides broader, lasting protection for all rendered untrusted content.

A — c_c0df72aee6da (tommy-mor)

message

[bf118bdf] Sanitize Reddit entity body HTML before rendering.

Use ammonia at render time so untrusted selftext_html cannot execute scripts in our origin.

[8f69c309] Require Reddit OAuth when credentials are set and refresh on 401/403.

Avoid falling back to the public www.reddit.com API from cloud IPs, which
returns Reddit's network-security block page. Also pin SORTER2_BASE_URL in fly.toml.
