A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack involves injecting malicious scripts, typically JavaScript, into web pages that are later viewed by other users. This attack exploits vulnerabilities in web applications that fail to properly validate or sanitize user inputs. When a victim visits the compromised web page, the malicious script executes in their browser, potentially stealing sensitive data, hijacking sessions, or defacing websites. XSS is categorized into three types: reflected, stored, and DOM-based. Stored XSS is particularly dangerous because the malicious script is permanently stored on the server and served to multiple users. For instance, attackers might inject a script into a comment section of a blog, and every user viewing the comments becomes a victim. Proper input validation, output encoding, and Content Security Policy (CSP) implementation are essential defenses against XSS. Why Other Options Are Incorrect :
