Fix XSS risk: replace direct template rendering with render_to_string in export view

[semgrep-code-private-mpast]

Fix a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the PDF export view by replacing direct template object rendering with Django's render_to_string helper.

Changes

• Replaced get_template import with render_to_string from django.template.loader
• Removed manual get_template('export.html') call followed by t.render(c)
• Use render_to_string('export.html', c, request=request) to render the template safely

Why

The export view in app/views.py was calling get_template().render() directly on a template object. This pattern bypasses Django's standard rendering pipeline and can miss context processors that enforce HTML autoescaping, opening the door to XSS if any user-controlled data reaches the template.

render_to_string is Django's high-level API for rendering a template to a string. It ensures the full context-processing chain runs, including autoescaping, and is the recommended approach when you need rendered HTML as a string (e.g., for PDF generation) rather than an HttpResponse.

Semgrep Finding Details

Detected direct use of jinja2. If not done properly, this may bypass HTML escaping which opens up the application to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Prefer using the Flask method 'render_template()' and templates with a '.html' extension in order to prevent XSS.

@mpast requested this Autofix PR for this finding from the detection rule python.flask.security.xss.audit.direct-use-of-jinja2.direct-use-of-jinja2.
