"Classification": "XSS attack"
"Description": "Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks are a type of injection where malicious scripts are injected into trusted websites. XSS attacks occur when an attacker uses a Web application to send malicious code (usually in the form of browser-side scripts) to different end users. Defects that allow these attacks to succeed are widely adopted and happen wherever a Web application uses user-submitted input in its generated output without verification or encoding. An attacker can use XSS to send malicious scripts to unsuspecting users. The end user's browser cannot determine if the script is untrusted and will execute it. Since the browser considers the script to come from a credible source, the malicious script can access any cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information retained by the browser and used with the site. These scripts can even rewrite the contents of the HTML page."
