About this talk

Lightboard Lessons: Episode 2: (12 min): The OWASP Top 10 is a list of the most common security risks on the Internet today. Cross Site Scripting (XSS) comes in at the #7 spot in the latest edition of the OWASP Top 10. XSS flaws occur whenever an application takes untrusted data and sends it to a web browser without proper validation or escaping. XSS allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim’s browser which can hijack user sessions, deface web sites, or redirect the user to malicious sites. In this video, we discuss how Cross Site Scripting works and outline some mitigation steps to make sure your web application stays secure against this threat.
