Potential Impact

Successful exploitation of this reflected XSS vulnerability can allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or other malicious actions impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent. The attack requires user interaction and can be performed remotely without authentication.
