USN-8181-1: ESAPI vulnerabilities

ESAPI incorrectly validated directory paths during path verification and did not properly sanitise javascript URLs, which could allow control-flow bypass and cross-site scripting. ESAPI also did not properly neutralise special elements during SQL injection defence and a remote attacker could possibly use this to perform SQL injection.
