⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could steal session cookies, perform actions as authenticated users, redirect to malicious sites, or install malware on user systems.
Likely Case
Attackers steal session tokens to hijack user accounts, potentially accessing sensitive business data within TaskPano.
If Mitigated
With proper input validation and output encoding, malicious scripts would be rendered harmless as text rather than executable code.
🎯 Exploit Status
XSS typically requires some user interaction (visiting malicious link) but can be combined with social engineering.

🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test input fields with XSS payloads like <script>alert('XSS')</script> and check if script executesCheck Version:
Check TaskPano version in application interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Retest with same XSS payloads after patch - scripts should be displayed as text, not executed📡 Detection & Monitoring
