I don't think it's that simple, there must be more to it.

I thought cross site scripting was more about injecting scripts into web pages, so I'm leaning towards cookie poisoning for this one.

I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like it could also involve a man-in-the-middle attack since he's intercepting the data somehow.

I'm a little confused by all the technical details in this question. Cookie manipulation, item IDs, and price changes - it's a lot to take in. I'll have to read through it carefully and try to break down the key elements.

Ah, I see what's going on now. The attacker is manipulating the cookie data to get a lower price. This sounds like a classic cookie poisoning attack. I'm feeling good about selecting the right answer.

Okay, let me think this through. The attacker is modifying the cookie values to change the item prices, so I'm guessing this is some kind of cookie-based attack. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

I'd go with option D, cookie poisoning. Changing the prices in the cookie is a pretty clever way to get a good deal, but it's not exactly ethical.
