Reflected_XSS @ memos.js

[RobertMickleCx]

Reflected_XSS issue exists @ memos.js in branch master

The method Lambda embeds untrusted data in generated output with render, at line 27 of /app/routes/memos.js. This untrusted data is embedded into the output without proper sanitization or encoding, enabling an attacker to inject malicious code into the generated web-page.

The attacker would be able to alter the returned web page by simply providing modified data in the user input session, which is read by the Lambda method at line 23 of /app/routes/memos.js. This input then flows through the code straight to the output web page, without sanitization. 

This can enable a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack.
