The provided code snippet shows a script that captures the user's cookies and sends them to a remote server.
This type of attack is characteristic of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), specifically stored XSS, where the malicious script is stored on the target server (e.g., in a database) and executed in the context of users who visit the infected web page.
A: XSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) attack: This involves tricking the user into performing actions on a different site without their knowledge but does not involve stealing cookies via script injection.
B: Command injection: This involves executing arbitrary commands on the host operating system, which is not relevant to the given JavaScript code.
C: Stored XSS: The provided code snippet matches the pattern of a stored XSS attack, where the script is injected into a web page, and when users visit the page, the script executes and sends the user's cookies to the attacker's server.
D: SQL injection: This involves injecting malicious SQL queries into the database and is unrelated to the given JavaScript code.
