XSS
Cross-Site Scripting
attackseasy
Cross-Site Scripting lets an attacker inject malicious script into a web page that other users then load in their browsers. The injected code runs with the trust of the vulnerable site, allowing session theft, defacement, or redirection to malicious pages. It remains one of the most common web vulnerabilities, prevented by properly encoding and validating user-supplied input.

Tools worth considering
- Sucuri → Cloud WAF, malware scanning, and hacked-site cleanup for CMS-run websites. A filter in front of your site, not a substitute for patching.
Affiliate links: the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you (how this works). No single tool is a silver bullet; treat each as one layer of coverage.
