*Impact of attack*: An attack can perform Cross Site Scripting attack and

*Recommendation*: Use an appropriate combination of white listing and
blacklisting to ensure only valid and expected input is processed by the
system.
Furthermore, classes within the output tag libraries should also be
modified to encode potentially dangerous characters with their HTML escape
Counter parts.
