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

Description

User input is being sent directly in an Ok() HTTP response as HTML, without proper escaping or sanitization. This bypasses the view/template system and can allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into the page.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could perform cross-site scripting (XSS), enabling them to steal user data, hijack sessions, or deface the site. This can lead to compromised user accounts, data breaches, and damage to your application's reputation.
