[jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-10153) Sanitize string arguments in API requests for XSS scripts

Rohit Yadav created CLOUDSTACK-10153:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Sanitize string arguments in API requests for XSS scripts
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-10153
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10153
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
            Reporter: Rohit Yadav
            Assignee: Rohit Yadav
             Fix For: Future


API requests made using the CloudStack UI does not allow use of special characters "<" and ">", however direct API requests made using clis such as cloudmonkey may pass unsanitized string API arguments to backend. A backend sanitizer can be put in to filter string API argument and remove possible XSS scripts using libraries such as https://github.com/OWASP/java-html-sanitizer
