Heute gibt es einen Link über Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS), was es ist, was man dagegen tun kann oder kurz: Wie beugt man XSS vor?
Der Artikel stammt vom OWASP, der Authoriät im Sachen Internetsicherheit bzw. Informationen zur Sicherheit.
This article provides a simple positive model for preventing XSS using output escaping/encoding properly. While there are a huge number of XSS attack vectors, following a few simple rules can completely defend against this serious attack.
These rules apply to all the different varieties of XSS. Both reflected and stored XSS can be addressed by performing the appropriate escaping on the server-side. The use of an escaping/encoding library like the one in ESAPI is strongly recommended as there are many special cases. DOM Based XSS can be addressed by applying these rules on the client on untrusted data.
For a great cheatsheet on the attack vectors related to XSS, please refer to the excellent XSS Cheat Sheet by RSnake. More background on browser security and the various browsers can be found in the Browser Security Handbook.
