What does it mean when you dont see a parameter in codegrazer?

The payload has not been encoded/filtered by the application and the content-type of the response displays HTML: The fact that you don’t see a parameter, it doesn’t mean that the component doesn’t require one or two to work. In the previous example it was easy to find the missing parameter because the application told us.

When does reflected XSS pass through url work?

If the comment itself contains javascript code and the server program does not mitigate this, it would output the same code as part of the comment block.
