+The default `mimetype` for `make_response` in Flask is `'text/html'`. This is true even when the response contains JSON data.
+If the JSON contains (unsanitized) user-supplied input, a malicious user may supply HTML code which leaves the application vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS). 
+This fix explicitly sets the response type to `application/json` when the response body is JSON data to avoid this vulnerability. Our changes look something like this:
+
+```diff
+from flask import make_response
+import json
+
+def foo(request):
+    json_response = json.dumps({ "user_input": request.GET.get("input") })
+-    return make_response(json_response)
++    return make_response(json_response, mimetype="application/json")
