    Xss

    make-response-with-unknown-content

    Be careful with flask.make_response(). If this response is rendered onto a webpage, this could create a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. flask.make_response() will not autoescape HTML. If you are rendering HTML, write your HTML in a template file and use flask.render_template() which will take care of escaping. If you are returning data from an API, consider using flask.jsonify().
