Lil' HTTP server is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to insufficient input validation. An attacker can construct a malicious URL containing scripting code that will be executed in the user's browser when the URL is accessed.

Lil' HTTP server is a web server application for Windows environments and is maintained by Summit Computer Networks.

It is possible for attackers to construct a URL to the 'pbcgi.cgi' script which includes scripting code to execute in a user's browser. As a result, when an innocent user follows such a link, the script code will execute within the context of the hosted site.
