| description: | |
| When a Handler does not explicitly set the Content-Type header, the the |
| package would default to “text/html”, which could cause a Cross-Site Scripting |
| vulnerability if an attacker can control any part of the contents of a |
| response. |
| |
| The Content-Type header is now set based on the contents of the first Write |
| using http.DetectContentType, which is consistent with the behavior of the |
| net/http package. |
| |
| Although this protects some applications that validate the contents of |
| uploaded files, not setting the Content-Type header explicitly on any |
| attacker-controlled file is unsafe and should be avoided. |
