php(Reactor) Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

An attacker may create a malicious link to a php(Reactor) site which contains malicious HTML and script code. If this link is visited by a web user, the attacker-supplied code will execute in their web client, in the security context of the php(Reactor) site. This may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate authenticated users. Other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user-supplied input is properly validated and filtered before being used in the application.
