Technical details

The frontpage theme's blog-directory page reflects an unescaped blog-directory parameter without proper input validation or contextual escaping. An attacker can supply a crafted parameter value that is rendered into the HTML response, leading to reflected XSS. The fix validates the parameter to accept only single ASCII letters, normalizes and escapes it at output, and falls back to a safe default for invalid input.
