Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Complete PHP Counter
The Complete PHP Counter application is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This vulnerability occurs due to the lack of proper input sanitization by the application. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary script code into the 'c' parameter of the 'list.php' page. When an unsuspecting user visits the affected page, the injected script code will be executed in their browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal their cookie-based authentication credentials or perform other malicious actions.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize and validate user-supplied input before using it in the application. This can be achieved by implementing proper input validation and output encoding techniques. Additionally, web application firewalls (WAFs) can also help in preventing XSS attacks.
