Vulnerability Discovery and Discussion

Description of the Issue

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability that occurs when an attacker injects malicious code into a website (usually via a web browser) in order to steal sensitive information from the user of that site.
The vulnerability exists because different internet protocols are used for input and output data, meaning that it’s possible to send malicious content as part of the URL or HTML headers without the user noticing. For example, an XSS attack would be able to steal cookies and login credentials that are sent back to the server during the authentication process.
