 - The package whoogle-search before 0.7.2 are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) via the query string
 parameter q. In the case where it does not contain the http string, it is used to build the error_message
 that is then rendered in the error.html template, using the
 [flask.render_template](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.1.x/api/flask.render_template) function.
