OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION
Due to lack of output encoding, a Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack can be carried out by tampering the parameter in the Developer portal.
IMPACT
By leveraging the XSS attack, a malicious actor can make the browser get redirected to a malicious website, make changes in the UI of the web page, retrieve information from the browser or harm otherwise.
