> If developers putting untrusted data into attribute values using the single quote character ' and StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml() like:
> <input type='text' name='input' value=*'<%=StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(request.getParameter("input"))%>'*>
> Then, the attacker is able to break out of the HTML attribute context like:
> hxxp://example.org/?input=*' onfocus='alert(document.cookie);' id='*
> <input type='text' name='input' value='*'onfocus='alert(document.cookie);'id='*'>
> I think [LANG\-122|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-122] is not truly fixed from this aspect (XSS).
