These vulnerabilities occur due to a lack of proper input sanitization, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary script code into the affected site. By exploiting these vulnerabilities, an attacker can execute malicious scripts in the browser of a user who visits the affected site. This can lead to the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials and the potential for launching further attacks.
