Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of attack that injects malicious code into a website, allowing attackers to access user information or take control of the user’s browser. This type of attack targets the client-side of a website, as opposed to the server-side. XSS attacks are usually performed by injecting malicious JavaScript code into the HTML code of a website, which is then executed by the user’s browser. XSS attacks can be used to steal user information, hijack user sessions, perform malicious actions on behalf of the user, and more.
