CWE CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
OWASP A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

A template variable is being rendered with the '| safeseq' filter, which disables automatic HTML escaping. This means that any data passed to this variable will be rendered as raw HTML, making it unsafe if user input is included.

Impact

If untrusted user data is rendered without escaping, attackers could inject malicious scripts (XSS), potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or defacement of your website. This can compromise user security and damage your application's reputation.
