    Cross site scripting alert in Tag.aspx

     

    We have integrated the cute editor for .net with our application.

    Recently we have ran a security scan by using Acunetix tool and found the following alert in the report. The tool shows the cross site scripting affected in ../cuteeditor/dialogs/tag.aspx file.

     

    Could you please provide how to avoid this security issue.
