XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)

Definition: An attack technique in which malicious JavaScript code is injected into a website, usually via comment fields or forms, and executed in the next visitor’s browser.

Everyday analogy: It’s like someone posting a fake notice on a club’s bulletin board that tricks every reader into opening their wallet.

How we use this: In our security audit, we check input validation in all forms. A Content Security Policy (CSP) is a mandatory configuration for added protection.
