- All tests passed. If this feature is not already covered by the tests, I added new tests.
- This pull request is on the dev branch.
- I used gofmt for formatting the code before submitting the pull request.
- Update documentation about new features / new supported technologies

Vulnerability Details
| Rule ID: | go-stored-xss |
Overview
Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of vulnerability where malicious
scripts are injected into a web application and stored in a persistent state,
such as a database. When other users access the affected page, the stored
scripts are executed in their browsers, leading to various attacks.
Vulnerable example
func serveMessage(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", "test.db")
message := db.QueryRow("SELECT message FROM messages WHERE id = 1")
fmt.Fprintf(w, "<h1>%s</h1>", message)
}In this example, the serveMessage function retrieves a message from the
database and directly embeds it into an HTML response without proper escaping.
If the message contains malicious scripts, it can lead to Stored XSS attacks
when other users view the page.
Remediation
To mitigate Stored XSS vulnerabilities, always sanitize and encode user
input before storing it in a persistent state and before displaying it
to other users:
func serveMessage(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
db, _ := sql.Open("sqlite3", "test.db")
message := db.QueryRow("SELECT message FROM messages WHERE id = 1")
- fmt.Fprintf(w, "<h1>%s</h1>", message)
+ fmt.Fprintf(w, "<h1>%s</h1>", html.EscapeString(message))
}In the remediation, we've used the html.EscapeString function to escape
the message before embedding it into the HTML response. This helps prevent
the execution of malicious scripts and mitigates the Stored XSS vulnerability.
