HTTP: HTML Script Tag Embedded in Accept-Language

This signature detects cross site scripting attacks. Attackers can create a malicious Web site that includes HTML embedded in the hyperlinks, which might violate site security settings. Attackers can then view the Web cookies from a target computer. Web cookies typically contain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, and bank account numbers.
