Secure Web Applications Against Cross Site Scripting (XSS): A Review

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are most common vulnerability issues in the digital era for the Web applications. These attacks occur, when an attacker uses a web application to send malicious code in the form of client side script. These scripts exploit the vulnerabilities in the code and resulting in a serious consequence like theft of cookies, passwords and any confidential user data. In extreme cases, the user may have lost his/her control on the browser. In this paper, we explained detection, and prevention of Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability attacks through a systematic review process.
