Persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks are a type of security vulnerability often found in web applications. In a persistent XSS attack, a malicious script is injected into the websites database, allowing it to execute every time a user accesses the affected page. These attacks can be used to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials or personal data, from unsuspecting users.
Implementing input validation and output encoding are two effective ways to prevent persistent XSS attacks. Input validation ensures that the data submitted by users is in the correct format, while output encoding protects against malicious scripts by converting special characters into their HTML-encoded equivalents.
Users can protect themselves from persistent XSS attacks by keeping their software and browser up to date, using security plugins, and being cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. It is also important to avoid entering personal information on unsecured websites to minimize the risk of falling victim to these types of attacks.
