What is Cross Site Scripting?
Cross Site Scripting allows an attacker to embed malicious JavaScript, VBScript,
ActiveX, HTML, or Flash into a vulnerable dynamic page to fool the user, executing
the script on his machine in order to gather data. The use of XSS might compromise
private information, manipulate or steal cookies, create requests that can be
mistaken for those of a
valid user, or execute malicious code on the end-user systems. The data is usually
formatted as a hyperlink containing malicious content and which is distributed over
any possible means on the internet. Cross site scripting vulnerabilities are
extremely dangerous and the number of the attacks is on the rise.
