This reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking or malware delivery. The xss.php script directly echoes the XSS GET parameter using echo $_GET["XSS"]; on line 11, which causes any provided HTML or JavaScript to be rendered without proper sanitization. An attacker could craft a malicious URL to steal cookies or perform actions on behalf of the user.
