Google Chrome Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Google Chrome is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the user running the application and to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and other sensitive data that may aid in further attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to dynamically generate web content.
