The REST API has a definition for an HTML Popup in a feature layer (http://localhost:6080/arcgis/sdk/rest/ms-htmlPopup.html). So the response includes HTML within the JSON. Could that be a security risk as it seems like a way to inject dodgy JavaScript into the response. What do you guys think?

Mark,

Thank you for this post. The HTML popup is configured by the author of a map in ArcMap. Is the concern here that someone could add malicous content in the HTML
Popup configured for a map/layer that they are publishing on their own server?

If you have a specific case that you would like to be addressed, you can report it to ESRI Support and we can look into this immediately.

thanks
Ravi

Thanks for your response Ravi. From what you describe it doesn't seem as though it will be a problem.
