To Reproduce

[BugBountyHunter403]

got any fix?

[reevesy1]

i worked out a fix for it. seems to work fine now.

1. Open to edit XSStrike/core/jsContexter.py

2. Remove or I just commented out # pre = re.sub(r'(?s)\{.*?\}|(?s)\(.*?\)|(?s)".*?"|(?s)\'.*?\'', '', pre) its line 11 or 12.

3. Add the following in its place

    pre = re.sub(r'(?s)\{.*?\}', '', pre)
    pre = re.sub(r'(?s)\(.*?\)', '', pre)
    pre = re.sub(r'(?s)".*?"', '', pre)
    pre = re.sub(r"(?s)'.*?'", '', pre)

Fixed that issue
