Sourced from org.owasp.esapi:esapi's releases.

2.5.3.1

Major changes

ESAPI 2.5.3.1 is a minor point release that adds:

• Updated Javadoc for the Validator.isValidSafeHTML and ValidationRule.getValid methods.
• Adds an always-on log message (a single time only) if either of the isValidSafeHTML methods is invoked. The warning notes that the method is deprecated and provides a link to the GitHub Security Advisory.

Configuration files located in configuration jar

Note that the attached file "esapi-2.5.3.1-configuration.jar" contains the default ESAPI configuration files intended for used in production. Download the file and unjar it via 'jar xf'. After you unjar that configuration jar, look under the 'configuration/' directory. Most of the files you are interested in are located under 'configuration/esapi', such as ESAPI.properties, validation.properties, etc. The attached file "esapi-2.5.3.1-configuration.jar.asc" is a detached GPG signature of that the file "esapi-2.5.3.1-configuration.jar" that was signed by ESAPI project co-lead, Kevin W. Wall.

2.5.3.0

Major changes

• The two Validator.isValidSafeHTML methods were deprecated. More details on this in GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-r68h-jhhj-9jvm.
• There is now a version of the ESAPI jar that should support the Jakarta Servlet API. See the release notes and the ESAPI GitHub wiki page Using ESAPI with Jakarta EE Servlet API Specification 5.0 and later for details.
• Updated to AntiSamy 1.7.4 which addresses CVE-2023-43643 , which really was not exploitable via ESAPI anyway. More details are in the release notes.
