[wwesleyalves]

Stored_XSS issue exists @ root/login.jsp in branch main

*The method username%></td> embeds untrusted data in generated output with username, at line 57 of root\password.jsp. This untrusted data is embedded into the output without proper sanitization or encoding, enabling an attacker to inject malicious code into the generated web-page.The attacker would be able to alter the returned web page by saving malicious data in a data-store ahead of time. The attacker's modified data is then read from the database by the stmt.executeQuery method with rs, at line 15 of root\login.jsp. This untrusted data then flows through the code straight to the output web page, without sanitization. This can enable a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack.Similarity ID: 1605217193
