Validation field should also be escaped.

{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"&lt;script&gt;&lt;&#x2f;script&gt; is not allowed","validation":{"source":"query","keys":["<script></script>"]}}

Why should it be escaped? I would think that it is the receivers responsibility not to expose validation keys without escaping.

Because attackers don't escape it intentionally. It was fixed by #697, but I think it is incomplete.
