Impact

A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Nginx Virtual Host Traffic Status Module can allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts on a vulnerable server. This can lead to various security risks, including the theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, and unauthorized access to user accounts.

How the module works?

The Nginx Virtual Host Traffic Status Module works by sending HTTP requests to the target server and analyzing the responses. It uses matching conditions to identify potential XSS vulnerabilities. One example of a matching condition is checking if the response status is 200, if the response body contains the script "<script>alert(31337)</script>", and if the response header includes the word "text/html".

By analyzing the server's responses and matching them against predefined conditions, the module can identify potential XSS vulnerabilities in the Nginx Virtual Host Traffic Status Module.
