In this recipe, we discovered a reflected XSS; this means that the script is executed every time we send this request and the server responds to it. Another type of XSS is called a stored XSS. A stored XSS is one that may or may not be presented immediately after input submission, but such input is stored on the server (maybe in a database) and is executed every time a user accesses the stored data.
