## Technical details

The sort_link() helper function fails to sanitize the cat, sort, and time query parameters before reflecting them in HTML output, enabling reflected XSS attacks. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious URL with JavaScript payloads in these parameters and trick users into clicking it. The injected script executes under the application origin with the victim's session privileges.
