>>> c=Cookie.Cookie('Customer="</script>";'); print c.js_output()
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- begin hiding
document.cookie = "Customer="</script>"";
// end hiding -->
</script>
It allows HTML/Javascript injection. Well, Python 2.5 already displays
a warning:
/usr/lib/python2.5/Cookie.py:710: DeprecationWarning:
Cookie/SmartCookie class is insecure; do not use it
The right fix is maybe to remove deprecated and unsecure function!
