In the case where it does not contain the http string, it is used to build the error_message that is then rendered in the error.html template, using the [flask.render_template](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.1.x/api/flask.render_template) function. However, the error_message is rendered using the [| safe filter](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/templates/working-with-automatic-escaping), meaning the user input is not escaped.","published":"2022-07-12T14:20:11.761Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:29.457581177Z","cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"whoogle-search","fixedVersion":"0.7.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/commit/abc30d7da3b5c67be7ce84d4699f327442d44606","label":"benbusby/whoogle-search@abc30d7"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/blob/6d362ca5c7a00d2f691a2512461c5dfbfc01cbb3/app/routes.py%23L448"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/25xxx/CVE-2022-25303.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-25303"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-PYTHON-WHOOGLESEARCH-2803306"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/commit/abc30d7da3b5c67be7ce84d4699f327442d44606"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mxvc-fwgx-j778"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/tree/main/vulns/whoogle-search/PYSEC-2022-226.yaml"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:29.457581177Z"}}
