Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications that enables malicious attackers to inject client-side script into web pages viewed by other users.


Can anyone explain its actual working??????

    As per my knowledge cross site scripting seems very similar to phishing but it is very dangerous as compared to phishing through this a hacker hacks individual cookies and session
    correct me if i am wrong

    ya , it is somewhat similar to phishing, and u r right it steals cookies from the client m/c. But i want to know about the actual working of this script, because i think to avoid this kind of attack one must know how this is happening.....
