XSS script tag end (Parameter) (2) 200001475 , False positive
Hi ,
the name of the Attack Signature says it pretty much. In one of the parameters, the WAF has detected an XSS script tag.
XXS or cross site scripting is an attack, where an attacker would supply a malicious link via a hyperlink. A user would then click on the link and the attacker would try to steal information from the user.
If you think this violation is a false positive you could disable this signature for the parameter in question.

Good, I am not always sure, so I thought a short explanation of XXS will do no harm.
Is that the complete URL? Usually in the logs it is highlighted in red where the violation was seen. For example:

When I expand the dropdown next to Attack signature detected, I can see where the pattern was matched.
