XSS
(Cross-Site Scripting)
XSS, or Cross-Site Scripting, is a security vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. It exploits weaknesses in web applications that fail to properly validate or sanitize user input.
XSS attacks can lead to data theft, session hijacking, and defacement of websites. They are commonly mitigated through input validation, output encoding, and the use of security mechanisms like CSP (Content Security Policy). XSS remains one of the most prevalent web application vulnerabilities, highlighting the importance of secure coding practices and regular security testing.
