An XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attack is a type of security vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into a web application or website.
XSS attacks can be used to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials, personal data, and financial information. They can also be used to deface websites or redirect users to malicious websites.
There are several steps you can take to protect your website from XSS attacks:
XSS attacks work by injecting malicious scripts into web pages that are viewed by other users. These scripts can execute in the context of the victims session and steal sensitive information or perform other malicious actions.
There are three main types of XSS attacks: Stored XSS, Reflected XSS, and DOM-based XSS. Each type targets different vulnerabilities in web applications and has unique characteristics.
To detect and prevent XSS attacks, you can use web application security scanners, implement strong input validation, and educate your developers on secure coding practices. Regularly performing security audits can also help identify and mitigate potential XSS vulnerabilities.
