In this APEX Instant Tip episode, Hayden introduces the !RAW notation for substitution strings, and discusses a use case for when it could be appropriate (end users needing to use HTML to format text).
Insum’s own APEX security guru Anton Nielsen addresses the risks this poses, and provides a strategy to safeguard against XSS and other dangers using the recently added apex_escape.html_allowlist.
Also, the solution to last week’s puzzler is revealed!
