Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is vulnerable to
cross-site scripting attacks.

exploiting this flaw, a possible hacker can cause arbitrary HTML and script
code to be executed by a user's browser in the context of the affected
web site whenever users view malicious entries or comments that the
attacker creates.
