| Description: | Cross site scripting (also referred to as XSS) is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to send malicious code (usually in the form of Javascript) to another user. Because a browser cannot know if the script should be trusted or not, it will execute the script in the user context allowing the attacker to access any cookies or session tokens retained by the browser. | |
| Impact: | An attacker can conduct a cross-site scripting attack to inject malicious client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users, or to bypass access controls such as the same-origin policy, if affected version is installed. | |
| Affected OS: | Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Other Unix, Network Device, Mac OS, iOS, Android, Others | |
