>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: hbase
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-2
>            Reporter: andy zhou
>            Priority: Major

> Our program analyzer has detected a potential security issue as follows 
> {code:java}
> PrintWriter out = ServletUtil.initHTML(response, "Log Level");
> String logName = ServletUtil.getParameter(request, "log");
> String level = ServletUtil.getParameter(request, "level");
> if (logName != null) {
>    out.println("<br /><hr /><h3>Results</h3>");
>    out.println(MARKER
>         + "Submitted Log Name: <b>" + logName + "</b><br />");
>   ...
> }{code}
> Above is the code piece. Seems that the log name is directly collected from the web request, and only whether the data is null is checked. So an attacker may provide a "logName" with a piece of injected code, leading to cross-site attacks. And besides, the variable "level" may also have such vulnerability.
