This can lead to the theft of authentication credentials stored in cookies and enable further attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement proper input sanitization and validation mechanisms to prevent the execution of malicious script code. Regular security testing and code reviews should also be performed to identify and fix potential vulnerabilities.
