Emitted when user-controlled input can be passed into to an `echo` statement.
## Risk
This could lead to a potential Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Using a XSS vulnerability, an attacker could inject malicious JavaScript and execute any action JavaScript could do. Examples include:
- Stealing authentication material (e.g. cookies, JWT tokens)
- Exfiltrate sensitive information by reading the DOM
- Keylog entries on the website (e.g. fake login form)
Wheter this is exploitable or not depends on a few conditions:
- Is an executable mimetype set? (e.g. `text/html`)
- Is the content served inline or as attachment? (`Content-Disposition`)
- Is the output properly sanitized? (e.g. stripping all HTML tags or having an allowlist of allowed characters)
## Example
```php
<?php

echo $name;
}
```
## Mitigations
- Sanitize user-input by using functions such as `htmlentities` or use an allowlist.
- Set all cookies to `HTTPOnly`.
- Consider using Content Security Policy (CSP), to limit the risk of XSS vulnerabilities.
