SN-0183

Impact #

Setting the type of a table column to HTML allows its contents to be displayed with HTML formatting tags. However it also opens up a cross-site script attack vector since a malicious user could inject HTML code to execute unauthorised scripts when these fields are rendered.

Set the system property “glide.ui.escape_html_list_field” to true.
