Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To identify the line on which the vulnerability exists, we need to analyze each line of code and determine if there are any potential vulnerabilities.

Let's go through each option:

Option A) Line #12 - This line of code is a debug statement and does not contain any potential vulnerabilities.

Option B) Line #9 - This line of code is responsible for forwarding the request and response objects to the "/SearchResult.jsp" page. It does not appear to have any vulnerabilities.

Option C) Line #17 - This line of code calls the doPost method, which in turn calls the performSearchAction method. There does not appear to be any vulnerabilities in this line of code.

Option D) Line #8 - This line of code sets the "SearchResults" attribute in the request object. It does not appear to have any vulnerabilities.

Option E) Line #14, 18 & 19 - These lines of code mark the end of the doPost and doGet methods, and the end of the class. They do not contain any vulnerabilities.

Based on the analysis, none of the given options contain a vulnerability. Hence, the correct answer is none of the above.
