Preventing persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attack by applying pattern filtering approach
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability is one of the most widespread security problems for web applications, which has been haunting the web application developers for years. Various approaches to defend against attacks (that use XSS vulnerabilities) are available today but no single approach solv...

| description | Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability is one of the most widespread security problems for web applications, which has been haunting the web application developers for years. Various approaches to defend against attacks (that use XSS vulnerabilities) are available today but no single approach solves all the loopholes. After investigating this area, we have been motivated to propose an efficient approach to prevent persistent XSS attack by applying pattern filtering method. In this work, along with necessary background, we present case studies to show the effectiveness of our approach. |
