Hi, Joe:

 

 

One of our clients has been dinged by its auditing department for XSS vulnerabilities. The audit recommends:

 

 

"Filter all data collected from the client including user-supplied content and browser content such as Referrer and User-Agent headers."

 

 

It's been 5 years since this original message was posted. Are there new CodeShare additions that address this requirement?

 

 

Thanks a bunch,

 

Bill
