Question

XSS and type of xss

Accepted Answer

XSS stands for Cross-Site Scripting, a type of security vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages.

XSS allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim's browser, potentially stealing sensitive information or performing actions on behalf of the victim.
Types of XSS include reflected XSS, stored XSS, and DOM-based XSS.
Reflected XSS occurs when user input is immediately returned to the user without proper validation.
Stored XSS involves injecting malicious scripts that are stored on the server and executed when other users access the affected page.
DOM-based XSS exploits vulnerabilities in the Document Object Model (DOM) of a web page to execute malicious scripts.
