            escaped = DOMUtils.escapeAnsi(value);
            Show
            Escape the value before passing it in: import com.icesoft.faces.util.DOMUtils; escaped = DOMUtils.escapeAnsi(value);

            Description

            The ICEfaces output component are not escaped by default which makes them vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks. The <ice:outputText> uses the escape attribute but the other output components do not (ex: <ice:selectOneMenu/>). Doing a test in a pure JSF application reveals that the JSF framework by default filters/escapes JavaScript by default.
