+ * ESLint Rule: no-improper-sanitization
+ * Detects improper sanitization of user input (CWE-94, CWE-79, CWE-116)
+ *
+ * Improper sanitization occurs when user input is not properly cleaned
+ * before use in sensitive contexts. This can lead to injection attacks,
+ * XSS, or other security vulnerabilities.
+ *
+ * False Positive Reduction:
+ * This rule uses security utilities to reduce false positives by detecting:
+ * - Known safe sanitization patterns
+ * - Trusted sanitization libraries
+ * - JSDoc annotations (@sanitized, @safe)
+ * - Context-aware validation
