DOM-Based cross-site scripting on window.location.pathname

Question

A scan with Burp has identified a DOM-Based cross-site scripting vulnerability.

The only script with a sink is the following.

Do you think it's a false positive? (Can I make it more secure in some way?)

var sPageURL = window.location.pathname;
var urlParts = sPageURL.split('/');
var page = urlParts[urlParts.length - 1];

var elem = $("a[href!=\\#]").filter(function () {
    //console.log(this.href + ' ' + this.href.toLowerCase().indexOf(page.toLowerCase()));
    return ((this.href.toLowerCase().indexOf(page.toLowerCase()) > 0) && (this.href.indexOf('#') < 0));
});

Then elem is used only to set a class on its parent, the following way:

elem.parent().addClass("active");
elem.parent().closest("li.treeview").addClass("active");

Answer 1

Even if page could be whatever you want, its only use is to match other links on the page to add the active class.

The worst thing you could do would be setting all links in the page as active.

In my opinion, this doesn't count as a XSS vulnerability since no malicious code would be executed.
