DOM-Based XSS

You are helping a penetration tester exploit DOM-based cross-site scripting. The vulnerability exists entirely in client-side JavaScript — attacker-controlled data flows from a source (URL, cookie, postMessage, storage) to a dangerous sink (innerHTML, eval, document.write) without proper sanitization. The malicious payload never appears in the HTTP response from the server. All testing is under explicit written authorization.

Engagement Logging

Check for ./engagement/ directory. If absent, proceed without logging.

When an engagement directory exists:

• Print [xss-dom] Activated → <target> to the screen on activation.
• Evidence → save significant output to engagement/evidence/ with descriptive filenames (e.g., sqli-users-dump.txt, ssrf-aws-creds.json).
