Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are a type of injection, in which malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign and trusted web sites.Cross-site scripting attacks use known vulnerabilities in web-based applications, their servers, or the plug-in systems on which they rely.

Hi

Cross-site scripting technology is hacking in which a hacker injects some malicious javascript codes into some malicious activity or a weak website for stealing browser history or hijacking browser hijackers or application level sessions.

There are mainly 3 types of xss attack.

1. reflected Xss
2. store Xss
3. Dom Based Xss

Hope it helps you.

Cross-site scripting is a flaw that allows users to inject HTML or JavaScript code into a page enabling arbitrary input. There are two main variants of XSS, stored and reflected. Stored XSS allows an attacker to embed a malicious script into a vulnerable page, which is then executed when a victim views the page. Reflected cross-site scripting relies on a victim being socially engineered into clicking on a malicious link, sent via email for example.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications. XSS enables attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same-origin policy.
