Abstract

today securing the web application against attacks is a very big challenge. Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a very
common type of technique to attack a web application. Cross-site scripting (XSS) is being used by the attackers to steal
web browser’s cookies or user credentials etc. by injecting the malicious javascript into victim’s web application. In
order to prevent this type of injection we need to apply input validation as well as output encoding to enforce that the
untrusted values are interpreted by the Web browser purely as data and in no circumstances as mark-up or JavaScript
code.
