Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability
Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities are characterized by an attacker gaining the ability to target the browsers of visitors through the use of malicious scripts that were surreptitiously placed on a website.

XSS attacks are among the most prevalent type of vulnerabilities.This specific attack is called an Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability. A Stored XSS vulnerability is one in which a script is placed in the website itself by an attacker.

But this is an Authenticated Stored XSS vulnerability, meaning that the attacker must have website credentials in order to execute the attack.This makes it less of a critical risk because it requires an attacker to take the extra step of acquiring credentials.
