The first truly secure and intuitive templates for PHP. The most common critical vulnerability in websites is Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). It allows an attacker to insert a malicious script into a page that executes in the browser of an unsuspecting user. It can modify the page, obtain sensitive information or even steal the user's identity. Templating systems fail to defend against XSS. Latte is the only system with an effective defense, thanks to context-sensitive escaping. Latte is based on PHP, whereas Twig is based on Python. ...

...In both cases you should strongly consider employing defence-in-depth measures, like deploying a Content-Security-Policy (a browser security feature) so that your page is likely to be safe even if an attacker finds a vulnerability in one of the first lines of defence. Safe mode does not necessarily yield safe results when using extensions to Parsedown. Extensions should be evaluated on their own to determine their specific safety against XSS.

As an open source penetration testing tool, IPTC-Attacker allows to create an image with IPTC metadata containing testing vectors for Cross-Site Scripting attacks. Each checkbox can be used to include a huge collection of payloads into the selected tags (HTML5sec, XSS Cheat Sheet). If a checkbox will be not selected, the string aaa'bbb"ccc<ddd is automatically included into the unchecked IPTC tag.
