⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could inject persistent malicious scripts that steal admin credentials, hijack user sessions, deface websites, or redirect users to malicious sites whenever vulnerable pages are visited.
Likely Case
Attackers create fake admin interfaces or forms that trick authenticated users into executing actions that inject malicious scripts into the website content.
If Mitigated
With proper CSRF protections and input validation, the attack chain would be broken, preventing script injection.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires tricking authenticated users into visiting malicious pages or clicking malicious links. The CSRF leads to stored XSS payload injection.
