Silurus Classifieds (ver v2.0) The server reads data directly from the HTTP 
request and reflects it back in the HTTP response. Reflected XSS exploits occur 
when an attacker causes a victim to supply dangerous content to a vulnerable 
web application, which is then reflected back to the victim and executed by the 
web browser. The most common mechanism for delivering malicious content is to 
include it as a parameter in a URL that is posted publicly or e-mailed directly 
to the victim. URLs constructed in this manner constitute the core of many 
phishing schemes, whereby an attacker convinces a victim to visit a URL that 
refers to a vulnerable site. After the site reflects the attacker's content 
back to the victim, the content is executed by the victim's browser.
