    Xss

    no-direct-response-writer

    Detected a request with potential user-input going into a OutputStream or Writer object. This bypasses any view or template environments, including HTML escaping, which may expose this application to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Consider using a view technology such as JavaServer Faces (JSFs) which automatically escapes HTML views.
    Likelihood: HIGH
    Confidence: MEDIUM
    CWE:
    - CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (‘Cross-site Scripting’)
    OWASP:
    - A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
    - A03:2021 - Injection
