Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Property Value
Language generic
Severity low
CWE CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
OWASP A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

Using template variables directly inside <script> tags can allow untrusted data to be interpreted as JavaScript code. HTML escaping does not fully protect against cross-site scripting (XSS) when injecting data into scripts.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could inject malicious JavaScript into your page, enabling them to steal user data, hijack sessions, or manipulate site content. This can compromise user accounts and damage trust in your application.
