Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
Cross-site Scripting (XSS) is a client-side code injection attack. The attacker aims to execute malicious scripts in the web browser of the victim by including malicious code in a legitimate web page or web application. The actual attack occurs when the victim visits the web page or web application that executes the malicious code. The web page or web application becomes a vehicle to deliver the malicious script to the user’s browser. Vulnerable vehicles that are commonly used for Cross-site Scripting attacks are forums, message boards, and web pages that allow comments.read more
