Explain client side injection

Question

Accepted Answer

Client side injection is a type of attack where malicious code is injected into a client-side script that is executed by a user's web browser.

Client side injection can occur through vulnerabilities in web applications that allow attackers to inject malicious code into scripts that are executed on the client side.
Common types of client side injection include Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and HTML injection.
Attackers can use client side injection to steal sensitive information, manipulate the content of a web page, or redirect users to malicious websites.
Preventing client side injection involves validating and sanitizing user input, using secure coding practices, and implementing security mechanisms such as Content Security Policy (CSP).
