XSS Filtering

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Filtering is a security measure used by websites to protect against a type of cyber attack. In an XSS attack, an attacker injects malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users, potentially stealing sensitive information or compromising accounts. XSS filtering works by identifying and removing harmful scripts from user inputs before they are displayed on a site. This helps ensure that any potentially dangerous code can’t execute, safeguarding users and maintaining the integrity of the website. Essentially, it’s about keeping online environments safe from malicious code.
