[Paraview] ParaviewWeb security

I was wondering, if ParaviewWeb takes security concerns serious. Studying
the server code, I found no measures against access to files outside of the
specified --data-dir, against XSS or injection of arbitrary code in analogy
to SQL injection.

Would you consider ParaviewWeb secure when the server is open to anybody in
the internet, or is its purpose only to be run within intranets behind a
firewall? Assuming that ParaviewWeb has not undergone any security audits,
are there any commercial alternatives?

Thank you
Sven
