Solution

This is an example of a Reflected injection attack. In this type of attack, the malicious script is embedded in a URL and is executed when the user clicks on the malicious link. The script is then reflected off the web server, hence the name "Reflected". This is different from a Stored injection attack where the malicious script is permanently stored on the target server. SQL injection is a code injection technique that might exploit a security vulnerability occurring in the database layer of an application, and DOM-based attacks are a type of attack that occurs when an attacker is able to cause a victim's web browser to execute malicious JavaScript.
