cross-site scripting (xss) vulnerabilities
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities refer to security flaws in web applications that allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into otherwise trusted websites viewed by other users. This occurs when the application fails to properly validate and sanitize user-generated input, allowing the execution of harmful code that can compromise user data, hijack user sessions, or facilitate phishing attacks.
