Antonio Petrelli updated WW-2427:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
The <s:a> does not escape with HTML entities the "href" attribute value. This can lead to invalid HTML and, in certain cases, to 
XSS attacks.
Probably a new attribute, that specify if the escape is enabled or not, should be added.

  was:
The <s:a> does not encode with HTML entities the "href" attribute value. This can lead to invalid HTML and, in certain cases, to 
XSS attacks.
Probably a new attribute, that specify if the encoding is enabled or not, should be added.

        Summary: s:a does not HTML-escape "href" attribute value  (was: s:a does not encode "href" attribute value)

Thanks Jeromy, I rewrote the description and the summary replacing the tern "encode" with "escape".
