# Version: 1.0
# Tested on: Windows 10 Pro x64 - XAMPP Server
# CVE : N/A
#Issue Detail:
The value of the searchdata request parameter is copied into the HTML document as plain text between tags. The payload cyne7<script>alert(1)</script>yhltm was submitted in the searchdata parameter. This input was echoed unmodified in the application's response.
This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.
