AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property `glide.ui.escape_text` is designed to enhance security by escaping XML values at the parser level within the user interface. This measure is crucial for preventing both reflected and stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, which can compromise the integrity and security of the application. By enabling this property, any potentially malicious scripts embedded in XML data are neutralized before they can be executed in the user's browser. This proactive approach ensures that user input and data displayed in the UI are sanitized, thereby safeguarding against common XSS vulnerabilities. The property is part of ServiceNow's broader security framework aimed at maintaining a secure and reliable platform.
