XSpear – Powerful XSS Scanning And Parameter Analysis Tool
Cross-Site Scripting or XSS is the Vulnerability or Security Flaw which is listed in the OWASP Top 10 Vulnerability list. XSS flaw mainly deals with the arbitrary JavaScript code which can compromise the internal architecture of the application. Attacker or Hacker passes the malicious code snippet which consists of intention to stole or destroy the system architecture. This malicious string or code is passed to the server through various means like input fields, parameters, or even passed as a file. In this flaw, the web application generates the output based on the user input, which can be risky if user input is something dangerous.
