The paper provides a clear overview of the cross site scripting attack and its theoretical operation in the real world. It also illustrates the stages of the attack. Furthermore, the paper describes the outcomes of the real world incident of the cross site scripting attack. The article also brings to light the impact of the attack and clearly describes the consequences of the attack and identifies the security aim that was breached as a result of this attack. Finally, the paper also describes the specific actions performed by the vendor and organization so as to address the issue and provide counter measures to the specific vulnerability.

Cross Site Scripting - Desklib

Cross Site Scripting

Cross site scripting (XSS) is a security attack where an attacker injects malicious script into a trusted website. XSS vulnerabilities can be prevented using validation, encoding, and testing. XSS can be exploited for session hijacking and phishing attacks. Prevent attackers from exploiting this vulnerability by using automatic source code scanning, checking third party packages, and conducting a penetration test.
