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

*The method out.println embeds untrusted data in generated output with println, at line 91 of root\login.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 simply providing modified data in the user input ""username"", which is read by the username method at line 7 of root\login.jsp. This input then flows through the code straight to the output web page, without sanitization. This can enable a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack.Similarity ID: -435945327
