Reflected_XSS @ allocations.js

[CMaheshBL]

Reflected_XSS issue exists @ allocations.js in branch master

The application's Lambda embeds untrusted data in the generated output with render, at line 25 of /app/routes/allocations.js. This untrusted data is embedded straight into the output without proper sanitization or encoding, enabling an attacker to inject malicious code into the output.

The attacker would be able to alter the returned web page by simply providing modified data in the user input params, which is read by the Lambda method at line 18 of /app/routes/allocations.js. This input then flows through the code straight to the output web page, without sanitization. 

This can enable a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack.
