The method Rating_Show embeds untrusted data in generated output with print, at line 1127 of /BookDetail_jsp.java. This untrusted data is embedded into the output without proper sanitization or encoding, enabling an attacker to inject malicious code into the generated web-page.

The attacker would be able to alter the returned web page by simply providing modified data in the user input paramName, which is read by the getParam method at line 163 of /BookDetail_jsp.java. This input then flows through the code straight to the output web page, without sanitization. 

This can enable a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack.
