The strings provided in the login submissions suggest an attempt to execute a script that captures cookies and sends them to an external PHP script. This behavior is characteristic of a Cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. Therefore, the correct answer is: A. Cross-site scripting This aligns with the information in the CHFI v10 textbook, which describes XSS attacks as those that inject malicious scripts into otherwise benign and trusted websites, often to steal cookies or other sensitive information.
