Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-15122:
-------------------------------------
yep, if this adds the dependencies then it also needs to include any needed
license fixes. I thought in prior tickets we had decided to avoid adding the
OWASP implementations ([~eclark] do you recall? I seem to recall you were the
initial objection)
I'm concerned about the Xerces reference. We generally want to avoid bringing
in Xerces (because it's a notorious pain on java classpaths). It's not your
issue if something else brought it in, but we (the project) should figure out
when/how that came in and if we can avoid it.

> Project: HBase

> In our JMXJsonServlet we are doing this:
> jsonpcb = request.getParameter(CALLBACK_PARAM);
> if (jsonpcb != null) {
> response.setContentType("application/javascript; charset=utf8");
> writer.write(jsonpcb + "(");
> ...
> Findbugs complains rightly. There are other instances in our servlets and
> then there are the pages generated by jamon excluded from findbugs checking
> (and findbugs volunteers that it is dumb in this regard finding only the most
> egregious of violations).
> We have no sanitizing tooling in hbase that I know of (correct me if I am
> wrong). I started to pull on this thread and it runs deep. Our Jamon
> templating (last updated in 2013 and before that, in 2011) engine doesn't
> seem to have sanitizing means either and there seems to be outstanding XSS
> complaint against jamon that goes unaddressed.
> Could pull in something like
> https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Java_Encoder_Project and run all
> emissions via it or get a templating engine that has sanitizing built in.
