Description: XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) logging refers to the practice of capturing and storing information related to attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in web applications. These vulnerabilities allow an attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users, which can result in data theft, session manipulation, or redirection to malicious sites. XSS logging is a crucial tool in the category of logging and observability, as it enables developers and system administrators to monitor and analyze attack patterns, facilitating the identification of security gaps and the implementation of corrective measures. This type of logging not only helps detect attacks in real-time but also provides historical data that can be used to improve application security in the long term. By storing information about XSS attempts, such as the attacker’s IP address, the type of injected script, and the context of the vulnerability, organizations can strengthen their defenses and educate their teams about the tactics used by attackers.
