XSS Vulnerability in Thymeleaf Templates
XSS attacks are possible through template injection. Attacker-controlled input executes JavaScript on victim's browser.
Improper escaping of user input in templates allows script execution.
Common Causes
- Using th:utext instead of th:text (unescaped)
- Raw HTML from database without sanitization
- User input directly in JavaScript context
- th:onclick, th:onhover with user data
How to Fix It
Always use th:text (escapes HTML). Use th:utext only for trusted content. Never put user input in script blocks or event handlers. Sanitize HTML with OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer. Use CSP (Content Security Policy) header. Test with OWASP ZAP.

Vlad Temian
15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
