• It can be used to permanently modify displayed content from a website, allowing the attacker to embed content that is rendered automatically without the attacker having to target victims individually.
• Stored cross-site scripting can also be used to steal another user’s authentication information, such as data relating to their current session.
• An attacker who gains access to this data may use it to impersonate the user and access all information with the same rights as the target user.
• If an administrator is impersonated, the security of the application may be fully compromised.
