[galaxy-dev] input security validation

[Russell Bonneville]

Hello all,

I am Russell, a student working with Dr. Victor Jin at the Dept. of Biomedical Informatics, OSU Medical Center. I am developing a Galaxy wrapper for our ChIP-seq peak-calling program BELT (PMID: 21138948), and I have a question about input validation. Does Galaxy filter for malicious field entries (such as XSS attacks) or is this our wrapper's responsibility (the MACS wrapper appears to not perform any explicit checks)? Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Russell Bonneville
