Cross site scripting attacks can have devastating consequences. Code injected into a vulnerable application can exfiltrate data or install malware on the user’s machine. Attackers can masquerade as authorized users via session cookies, allowing them to perform any action allowed by the user account.
XSS can also impact a business’s reputation. An attacker can deface a corporate website by altering its content, thereby damaging the company’s image or spreading misinformation. A hacker can also change the instructions given to users who visit the target website, misdirecting their behavior.
