CVE-2022-25303 Information

Description

The package whoogle-search before 0.7.2 are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) via the query string parameter q. 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 function. However the error_message is rendered using the | safe filter meaning the user input is not escaped.
