This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in web applications. Implementing output encoding or input validation can help prevent XSS attacks.
