Description

User Controllable HTML Element Attribute (Potential XSS) occurs when an application inserts user input directly into HTML attributes without proper sanitization, enabling attackers to inject malicious scripts. This can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, potentially compromising user security and stealing sensitive information.

Recommendation

Input validation is crucial
