The method embeds untrusted data in generated output with print, at line 1119 of /BookDetail_jsp.java. This untrusted data is embedded into the output without proper sanitization or encoding, enabling an attacker to inject malicious code into the generated web-page.

The attacker would be able to alter the returned web page by simply providing modified data in the user input paramName, which is read by the method at line 154 of /BookDetail_jsp.java. This input then flows through the code straight to the output web page, without sanitization. 

This can enable a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack.
