## Description:
A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in RiteCMS v3.0.0 within the `main_menu/edit_section` parameter. 
An attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that will execute in the context of the victim's browser session.

2. Inject the above payload into the vulnerable parameter.
3. Observe the execution of the injected JavaScript.
