Cross site scripting (XSS)

Hey guys how are you? hope you are doing great. In this section, we are going to discuss about what cross-site scripting is, describe the different varieties of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and spell out how to find cross-site scripting.

What is cross-site scripting (XSS)?

Cross-site scripting (also known as XSS) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to compromise the interactions that users have with a vulnerable application. It allows an attacker to circumvent the same origin policy, which is designed to segregate different websites from each other. Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities normally allow an attacker to masquerade as a victim user, to carry out any actions that the user is able to perform, and to access any of the user's data. If the victim user has privileged access within the application, then the attacker might be able to gain full control over all of the application's functionality and data.
