Answers
D.
The vulnerable parameter and characters > and ' with a reflected XSS attempt
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

A cross-site scripting (XSS) attack is a type of web application attack that injects malicious code into a web page that is then executed by the browser of a victim user. A reflected XSS attack is a type of XSS attack where the malicious code is embedded in a URL or a form parameter that is sent to the web server and then reflected back to the user's browser. In this case, the Nmap scan shows that the web server is vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack, as it returns the characters > and ' without any filtering or encoding. The vulnerable parameter is id in the URL http://172.31.15.2/1.php?id=2.
