The md5 Encryption Decryption PHP Script is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary script code into the affected website, potentially leading to the execution of malicious scripts in the browser of unsuspecting users. This can result in the theft of authentication credentials and enable further attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and sanitization techniques. All user-supplied input should be properly validated and encoded to prevent the execution of malicious scripts. Additionally, web application firewalls (WAFs) can be employed to detect and block XSS attacks.
