Summary
Fixes CodeQL alert #46: Reflected server-side cross-site scripting
vulnerable_xss.pyFix Applied
See the diff for the specific secure coding change applied.
Fixes #48
Note
Low Risk
Low risk: small, localized change to the
/searchendpoint that only affects how theqparameter is rendered and should primarily reduce XSS exposure.Overview
Mitigates reflected XSS in
vulnerable_xss.pyby HTML-escaping the/searchquery parameter (q) before inserting it into the response.Simplifies the
/searchresponse generation by returning the escaped string directly instead of rendering viarender_template_string.Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 0a864c1. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.
