3. What Does XSS Stand for? How can it be Prevented?
XSS (cross-site scripting ) is a web security flaw allowing the attacker to manipulate the user interaction using a susceptible application. The attacker gets around the same-origin policy by keeping the websites separated from each other. The attacker impersonates the victim and executes actions in his place and accesses his data. In case of privileges access to the application, the attacker gets hold of its functionality and data.
