Summary
A HTML injection issue was identified in Lookyloo’s web interface helper function shorten_string (website/web/__init__.py). The function was used to truncate and render user-controlled values inside HTML (for example in a <span title="..."> attribute) without first escaping the string. This allowed crafted input containing HTML to be injected into the rendered page. On a standard Lookyloo installation, the configured Content Security Policy (CSP) significantly limited the impact and prevented direct script execution in most scenarios, but the underlying HTML injection bug was still present and could become exploitable if CSP was relaxed or modified.
