Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities can affect Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall. This is due to the fact that it doesn’t effectively sanitise user-supplied input. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw to run any script they want in the context of the website in the browser of a careless user.
