Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================

//Let's suppose we're Attacking an admin with higher privileges



1-Attacker opens his account

2-add arbitrary comment


3-intercepts the request


4-add malicious script to the comment


5-admin access his account,he wants to add a comment,the malicious script
got executed


===>Admin account compromised



===============================================================================



Example malicious script :


<script>
  alert(document.cookie);
</script>
