Antonio Petrelli updated WW-2427:
---------------------------------
Description:
The <s:a> does not escape with HTML entities the "href" attribute value. This
can lead to invalid HTML and, in certain cases, to
XSS attacks.
Probably a new attribute, that specify if the escape is enabled or not, should
be added.
was:
The <s:a> does not encode with HTML entities the "href" attribute value. This
can lead to invalid HTML and, in certain cases, to
XSS attacks.
Probably a new attribute, that specify if the encoding is enabled or not,
should be added.
Summary: s:a does not HTML-escape "href" attribute value (was: s:a
does not encode "href" attribute value)
Thanks Jeromy, I rewrote the description and the summary replacing the tern
"encode" with "escape".
