# Description: User must visit any site which is restricted as per  
# forcepoint policy. So that forcepoint web security will show a generic  
# page. While parsing "Domain Name" within generic page forcepoint is not  
# validating Host header, which caused XSS.  
  
Lets assume, while accessing anysite.com, forcepoint web security prevents  
us to go to that website with its custom exception/blocking page. Now  
follow the steps below:  
  
*Steps*:  
  
1. Intercept the traffic while accessing https://anysite.com  
2. Modify the Host header from anysite.com to ">  
<script>alert("evilsite")</script>
