✏️ Editing: http-dombased-xss.nse

description = [[
It looks for places where attacker-controlled information in the DOM may be used
to affect JavaScript execution in certain ways. The attack is explained here:

-- @usage nmap -p80 --script http-dombased-xss.nse <target>
--
-- DOM-based XSS occur in client-side JavaScript and this script tries to detect
-- them by using some patterns. Please note, that the script may generate some
-- false positives. Don't take everything in the output as a vulnerability, if
-- you don't review it first.
--
-- Most of the patterns used to determine the vulnerable code have been taken
-- from this page: https://code.google.com/p/domxsswiki/wiki/LocationSources
--
-- @args http-dombased-xss.singlepages The pages to test. For example,
--       {/index.php,  /profile.php}. Default: nil (crawler mode on)
