As now I am developing website using django web framework of python.
I have very concerned with XSS & security of website.
I have read some references related XSS & prevent them using escaping , encoding etc..
so my question is does Django autoescape every input data & handle XSS attacks automatically or explicitly do we need to implement code to prevent XSS attack ?
How can we prevent all kinds of XSS attacks in Django ?
I think auto-escaping is enabled in Django by default:
https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AutoEscaping
Unless you are using custom template tags, you have to explicitly mark tags as "safe" (or by using "autoescape off") to not auto-escape them: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/templates/builtins/#std:templatefilter-safe
upto some point django handles some attacks but to handle more django documentation helps https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/security/
