🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Unknown
Restart Required: No

🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by submitting a booking with a Name parameter containing <script>alert('XSS')</script> and check if script executes when viewing bookingsCheck Version:
Check software documentation or interface for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
After implementing fixes, repeat the test to confirm scripts no longer execute📡 Detection & Monitoring
