ASF GitHub Bot commented on CLOUDSTACK-10153:
---------------------------------------------

rhtyd opened a new pull request #2336: CLOUDSTACK-10153: Introduce string API arg trust validation
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/2336
 
 
   Adds new API string argument/field validator that validates the string
   as untrusted HTML using owasp's java-html-sanitizer. This also adds
   a API argument validator type to skip validations, useful for fields
   such as certificates and keys.

> 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
