- Execution of malicious scripts in the context of the affected site - Potential theft of sensitive user information - Manipulation of site content or functionality - Possible spread of malware or phishing attacks

How the module works?

The "SteVe - Cross-Site Scripting" module works by sending HTTP requests to the target site and applying matching conditions to identify the presence of the vulnerability. The module uses the following matching conditions:

- Check if the response body contains the string "<script>alert(document.domain)</script>/services/?stylesheet=1\">" - Verify if the response header includes the string "text/html" - Ensure that the response status code is 200

If all of these conditions are met, the module reports a vulnerability.

Here is an example of an HTTP request used by the module:

GET /steve/services/"%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.domain)%3C/script%3E/services/ HTTP/1.1
Host: [target site]
