To fix the cross-site scripting vulnerability, we need to ensure that any data written to the response stream is properly sanitized or encoded. In this case, we should use HTML escaping to encode the value of
rememberMe.getValue()before writing it to the response. This will prevent any malicious scripts from being executed in the user's browser.We will use the
org.springframework.web.util.HtmlUtils.htmlEscapemethod to escape the value ofrememberMe.getValue()before including it in the response.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
