XSS-RC
A research framework for turning a confirmed cross-site scripting finding into clear, convincing proof-of-concept evidence during authorized testing.
When a cross-site scripting issue is confirmed during authorized testing, a bare alert(1) rarely conveys how serious it actually is. To prioritise a fix, stakeholders and developers need to understand the real consequences, which means demonstrating impact rather than just presence.
XSS-RC is a research framework that helps security testers produce clearer, more convincing proof-of-concept evidence once a vulnerability has been confirmed inside an authorized engagement. The point is better communication of risk: turning a technical finding into something a non-technical stakeholder can understand and act on.
It is intended strictly for authorized penetration testing, in-scope bug bounty work, and educational research. It is a Node.js application built with Express and Socket.io, released as open source under the GPL-3.0 license.
