This lab uses CSP and contains a reflected XSS vulnerability.

To solve the lab, perform a cross-site scripting attack that bypasses the CSP and calls the alert function.

Please note that the intended solution to this lab is only possible in Chrome.

Enter the following into the search box:<img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>Observe that the payload is reflected, but the CSP prevents the script from executing.In Burp Proxy, observe that the response contains a Content-Security-Policy header, and the report-uri directive contains a parameter called token. Because you can control the token parameter, you can inject your own CSP directives into the policy.Visit the following URL, replacing YOUR-LAB-ID with your lab ID:https://YOUR-LAB-ID.web-security-academy.net/?search=%3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3C%2Fscript%3E&token=;script-src-elem%20%27unsafe-inline%27

The injection uses the script-src-elem directive in CSP. This directive allows you to target just script elements. Using this directive, you can overwrite existing script-src rules enabling you to inject unsafe-inline, which allows you to use inline scripts.
