Cross-Site Scripting or “XSS” is one of the most common vulnerabilities found in web applications.

A cache in computing is a temporary store of any content that has been retrieved from its original (master) source. Caches are typically used so that the data can be served faster the next time it is requested, since it needs only be retrieved from the local cache rather than the original source. The problem from a security point of view is that any response that is successfully cached will by design be stored and served to other users, and in some circumstances this can lead to problems.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is by far the most widespread high impact vulnerability, present even in the best of web applications, regardless of the framework or programming language employed - a burly steadfast member of the OWASP Top Ten.
Here at AppCheck the client-side nature of typical XSS has led to a general underappreciation of its exploitation potential, though a good understanding of the vulnerability and its subtle variations will show how it can be used to devastating effect... and more importantly: how it can be avoided.
In this seminar we will build up piece-by-piece an understanding of XSS that spares no detail.
