The Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) project is an OWASP project
to create simple strong security controls for every web platform.
Security controls are not simple to build. You can read about the
hundreds of pitfalls for unwary developers on the OWASP web site. By
providing developers with a set of strong controls, we aim to
eliminate some of the complexity of creating secure web applications.
This can result in significant cost savings across the SDLC.
Path to vulnerable library: /r/.m2/repository/org/owasp/esapi/esapi/2.1.0.1/esapi-2.1.0.1.jar,/target/easybuggy-1-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib/esapi-2.1.0.1.jar
ESAPI (The OWASP Enterprise Security API) is a free, open source, web application security control library. Prior to version 2.3.0.0, there is a potential for a cross-site scripting vulnerability in ESAPI caused by a incorrect regular expression for "onsiteURL" in the **antisamy-esapi.xml** configuration file that can cause "javascript:" URLs to fail to be correctly sanitized. This issue is patched in ESAPI 2.3.0.0. As a workaround, manually edit the **antisamy-esapi.xml** configuration files to change the "onsiteURL" regular expression. More information about remediation of the vulnerability, including the workaround, is available in the maintainers' release notes and security bulletin.
