Abstract

Cross-site scripting is one of the severe problems in Web Applications. With more connected devices which uses different Web Applications for every job, the risk of XSS attacks is increasing. In Web applications, hacker steals victims session details or other important information by exploiting XSS vulnerabilities. We studied 412 research papers on cross-site scripting, which are published in between 2002 to 2019. Most of the existing XSS prevention methods are Dynamic analysis, Static analysis, Proxy based method, Filter based method etc. We categorized existing methods and discussed solutions presented on papers and discussed impact of XSS attacks, different defensive methods and research trends in XSS attacks.
