The attacker may exploit the application by injecting malicious code to execute malicious actions. The access to the targeted system would be possible by manipulating the actions through which the user requests information. The cross site scripting can lead to information disclosure. In the worst case scenario, the access to the targeted system may be possible by taking control of the user. The exploitation of this vulnerability can be used to carry out various activities.

In most cases, a remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability to cross site request forgery. The user would request information from the targeted system and the code injected may lead to its disclosure. The code injected may also lead to information disclosure. The access to the targeted system may be possible by performing code injection. The code injected may lead to information disclosure. In some cases, the code injected may lead to its own execution. The user may request information from the targeted system and the code injected may lead to its disclosure. The code injected may also lead to its own execution. The user may request information from the targeted system and the code injected may lead to its disclosure. The code injected may also lead to its own execution. The user may request information from the targeted system and the code injected may lead to its disclosure. The code injected may also lead to its own execution

Vulnerability Scenarios and theffect s

In most cases, the access to the targeted system may be possible by taking control of the user. The exploitation of this vulnerability can be used to carry out various activities. In some cases, the code injected may lead to its own execution.

Vulnerability Scenario

The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote user who has access to the targeted system. The vulnerable code may lead to information disclosure which may make possible an attacker to take control of the user's session. The attacker may also perform cross site request forgery in order to access the targeted system.

Detecting Cross Site Request Forgery

The best way to detect this vulnerability is using the X-Frame-Options header.
Since the information disclosure can be one of the possible outcomes, it would be necessary to integrate a mechanism like the X-Frame-Options header. The X-Frame-Options header is usually for clickjacking, but it can also be used for cross site request forgery prevention.
