Vulnerability Overview:
Vulnerability: Top 38 Parameters - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Detection Method: Top 38 Parameters XSS Vulnerability Scanner
Severity: High
Impact: XSS vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information, session hijacking, and malicious redirection.
Vulnerability Details:
The scanner utilizes a series of GET requests embedding malicious payloads in 38 commonly vulnerable parameters. These payloads are designed to trigger an XSS payload reflection in the response, confirming the presence of an XSS vulnerability if successful. Parameters such as q, search, id, action, and keyword are tested for their susceptibility to script injection.
The Importance of Addressing XSS Vulnerabilities:
Mitigating XSS vulnerabilities is crucial for protecting web applications and their users from malicious script execution, which can compromise user sessions, steal sensitive data, and manipulate web content. Addressing these vulnerabilities ensures the integrity and confidentiality of user interactions with the web application.
