Dear All, I run a scan for a website for one of my clients and i have found around 80 Reflected XSS vulnerabilities. Although i am not able to reproduce them on the web browser. Are those false positives. Burp reported such vulnerabilities as high and confidence level is high. Could you elaborate more on this?
