Quizplus · Accepted Answer

XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks involve injecting malicious code into a website that a user is already visiting, thereby bypassing the need to trick the user into visiting a malicious website. This malicious code can then be executed within the victim's browser, potentially allowing an attacker to steal sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions on their behalf.
