Description
The top
command output is printed to the user without encoding, so if a malicious process is started which contains HTML in its command line or process description then it could trigger an XSS in an administrator's browser.
In order to take advantage of this issue, the user must already be able to execute arbitrary processes, which is a very high barrier. Someone in a position to do this could do far worse things to a system than trigger an XSS.
