The provided HTTP request and query string appear to demonstrate a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) payload test. Let me break it down:

Analyzing the Code:

1. HTTP Request Method and Path:

   • A GET request is being made to the following URL path: /Main/Default.aspx.
   • The query parameter viewSurveyError=Unknown+survey"><img%20src=x%20onerror=alert(document.domain)> is being sent as part of this request.

   The parameter value seems to contain an XSS injection payload:

   • Unknown+survey">: Closes what is likely an attribute or a string.
   • <img%20src=x%20onerror=alert(document.domain)>: Injects an image tag with a broken src (x) and an onerror JavaScript handler, which triggers an alert(document.domain) displaying the domain name of the page.

2. Headers:

   • The Host header specifies the target domain: kauppa.test.sonera.fi.
   • The User-Agent header indicates the request is generated by Safari on macOS.

3. Purpose of the Payload:

   • This request is attempting to test whether the target server improperly injects the viewSurveyError parameter value unsanitized into a page.
   • If the server is vulnerable, the malicious payload <img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)> would be rendered in the browser of any user visiting the affected page. This would trigger the onerror attribute, executing the alert(document.domain) JavaScript, which displays the current domain in an alert box.
   • This behavior indicates a reflected XSS vulnerability on the web application.

What the Code Does:

• The code is sending an XSS payload as a query parameter to test if the web application at kauppa.test.sonera.fi is vulnerable to reflected XSS.
• If the server renders this input unsanitized, the injected JavaScript (alert(document.domain)) will execute in the victim's browser, demonstrating the vulnerability.
