# E2002

`navigateTo()` was given a URL using a dangerous protocol (`javascript:`, `data:`, `vbscript:`). Nuxt blocks these to prevent XSS. This almost always means unsanitized user input reached `navigateTo()`.

## Resolution

Validate and sanitize user-provided URLs before navigating. Allow only `http:`, `https:`, or relative paths.
