Reflected_XSS_All_Clients issue exists @ riches/WEB-INF/src/java/com/fortify/samples/riches/restful/AccountResources.java in branch master

Method AddAccount at line 102 of riches\WEB-INF\src\java\com\fortify\samples\riches\restful\AccountResources.java gets user input for the representation element. This element’s value then flows through the code without being properly sanitized or validated and is eventually displayed to the user in method AddAccount at line 102 of riches\WEB-INF\src\java\com\fortify\samples\riches\restful\AccountResources.java. This may enable a Cross-Site-Scripting attack.
