+## Security
+
+If you're going to use Readability with untrusted input (whether in HTML or DOM form), we
+**strongly** recommend you use a sanitizer library like
+[DOMPurify](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify) to avoid script injection when you use
+the output of Readability. We would also recommend using
+[CSP](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) to add further defense-in-depth
+restrictions to what you allow the resulting content to do. The Firefox integration of
+reader mode uses both of these techniques itself. Sanitizing unsafe content out of the input
+is explicitly not something we aim to do as part of Readability itself - there are other
+good sanitizer libraries out there, use them!
