This can be used to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch further attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and sanitization techniques to ensure that user-supplied input is properly handled and does not contain malicious code. Additionally, implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) can help mitigate the impact of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
