Securing the Tangled Web.

The article provides an overview of how cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities emerge and why it is so difficult to avoid the problem in real-world Web application software development. Topics discussed include the traditional advice to prevent XSS, the existing approaches to the prevention and...

      ab: The article provides an overview of how cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities emerge and why it is so difficult to avoid the problem in real-world Web application software development. Topics discussed include the traditional advice to prevent XSS, the existing approaches to the prevention and detection of XSS, and the concept of strictly contextually auto-escaping template engines. Also discussed is an approach developed by Internet company Google to limit code that could potentially give rise to XSS vulnerabilities.
