FacturaScripts vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via Cookie Manipulation
Summary
A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the fsNick cookie parameter. The application reflects the cookie's value directly into the HTML without sanitization.
Details
The fsNick cookie is rendered into the DOM without encoding. While the server does reject the modified session and forces a logout, the HTML containing the payload reaches the browser first. This lets the script execute immediately upon load, effectively beating the redirect.

Impact
The payload executes before the session ends, which could potentially allow for a single unauthorized action before the logout.
