CVE-2014-3497: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

May 17, 2022 (updated February 8, 2023)

It was found that Swift does not escape all HTTP header values, allowing data to be injected into the responses sent from the Swift server. This could lead to cross-site scripting attacks (and possibly other impacts) if a user were tricked into clicking on a malicious URL.
