Python Ethical Hacking - VULNERABILITY SCANNER(8)
Implementing Code To Discover XSS in Parameters
1. Watch the URL of the XSS reflected page carefully.

2. Add the test_xss_in_link method in the Scanner class.

It is vulnerable on XSS.

Test the web page - http://10.0.0.45/dvwa/vulnerabilities/fi/?page=include.php:
vuln_scanner.test_xss_in_link("http://10.0.0.45/dvwa/vulnerabilities/fi/?page=include.php")
It is not vulnerable on XSS.
