postMessage XSS

Defenses: No server-side reflection at all. The page listens for window.postMessage() events and renders content without origin validation.

This page listens for cross-window messages. There's no form here — find the vulnerable message handler in the source.

Tip: Open DevTools Console (F12) to interact with the page.

Waiting for messages...
