How does the module work?

The "WEMS Enterprise Manager - Cross-Site Scripting" module works by sending a specific HTTP request to the "/guest/users/forgotten" endpoint with a manipulated email parameter. The module then checks the response for specific conditions to determine if the vulnerability is present.

For example, the module checks if the response status is 200, if the response body contains the script "<script>confirm(document.domain)</script>", and if the response header includes the word "text/html". If all these conditions are met, the module identifies the presence of the cross-site scripting vulnerability.

By using these matching conditions, the module can accurately detect the vulnerability and provide valuable information for further remediation.
