### Summary
A XSS vulnerability exists on index pages for static file handling.
### Details
When using `web.static(..., show_index=True)`, the resulting index pages do not escape file names.
If users can upload files with arbitrary filenames to the static directory, the server is vulnerable to XSS attacks.
### Workaround
We have always recommended using a reverse proxy server (e.g. nginx) for serving static files. Users following the recommendation are unaffected.
Other users can disable `show_index` if unable to upgrade.
