Description: XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) mitigation refers to the strategies and techniques used to reduce the risk of attacks that allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. These attacks can compromise user data security, steal sensitive information, or even take control of accounts. XSS mitigation involves implementing secure coding practices, such as input validation and sanitization, using Content Security Policies (CSP), and properly encoding outputs. These measures help ensure that user-entered data is not interpreted as executable code by the browser but is handled as plain text. The importance of XSS mitigation lies in its ability to protect both users and web applications from attacks that can have devastating consequences, such as data loss and damage to a company’s reputation. In an environment where web applications are becoming increasingly complex and interconnected, XSS mitigation becomes an essential component of cybersecurity.
