-----------------------------------

             Summary: XSS vulnerability in OFBiz forms and screens especially in display-entity
                 Key: OFBIZ-6506
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6506
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ALL COMPONENTS
            Reporter: Lilian Iatco


In Ofbiz form need to escape characters from description column in a display-entity tag to avoid XSS attacks.
<display-entity entity-name="Table" description="${description}" >

I tried to use bsh, as following:
<display-entity entity-name="Table" description="${bsh: org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(&quot;${description}&quot;)}">

But I get this error:
Error rendering screen [component://my/widget/CommonScreens.xml#GlobalDecorator]: java.lang.IllegalStateException: This object has been flagged as immutable (unchangeable), probably because it came from an Entity Engine cache. Cannot set a value in an immutable entity object.
