Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Advanced Poll
The Advanced Poll application is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to inadequate input sanitization. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the browser of an unsuspecting user within the affected site's context. This can be used to steal authentication credentials stored in cookies and launch further attacks.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize user-supplied input properly before using it in the application to prevent any script injection attacks. It is also advised to implement a content security policy (CSP) and utilize output encoding techniques to prevent XSS vulnerabilities.
