During a routine web application security assessment, you discover that user input is not being properly sanitized, leading to potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Which phase of the OWASP Testing Guide would best address this issue?
The OWASP Testing Guide is organized into various phases, each focusing on specific aspects of web application security. The 'Input Validation Testing' phase is designed to find vulnerabilities related to improper handling of user input, which includes issues like cross-site scripting (XSS). Other phases focus on different areas, such as authentication and session management, making them less appropriate for addressing input validation problems.
