Description
The header input is now properly escaped before splitting and joining with
<br>
tags. This prevents potential XSS attacks if the header contains unsanitized user input.This pull request addresses a potential XSS vulnerability in the
break_long_headers
template filter. By escaping the header input before processing, the risk of XSS attacks is mitigated.
