Think of this like a ‘magic mirror’ in a beauty salon that shows whatever the user whispers to it — without checking if what they said is safe or sound. A little harmless gossip could quickly turn into a public reveal that no customer would want!

When users click on a crafted link, the malicious script executes in their browser, potentially compromising their session or data.
