Injection. This is caused due to improper validation of user-supplied
inputs.

demonstrated below. When the victim clicks on the GET request the
payload will get executed which result in stealing of cookie, IP info,
refer info, browser information, clip***rd content, operating system
info, hardware Info, modification of page or html injection, url
redirection, port scanning of the network, and even phishing is
possible.
