What is XSS: XSS is an abbreviation for Cross Site Scripting. This refers to a type of computer security vulnerability where malicious users can add carefully-constructed comments to webpages with the intention of fooling web browsers.
While Cross Site Scripting exploits are often done for the naive fun of creating JavaScript popups on popular webpages such as news articles, XSS attacks can also be vectors in more serious attacks such as phishing.
All major websites including Yahoo, Paypal, Ebay, CNN, Microsoft, and even FBI.com have been subject to successful XSS attacks.
