When you are learning about cybersecurity, you learn that there are a lot of vulnerability types, and there is one that is very common to find and easy to learn: XSS.

XSS stands for Cross-Site Scripting, and is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to run scripts inside a user’s browser, potentially having the power to steal information and do actions as the victim.

This happens when the attacker sends data with his script to an application, and it without filtering the data sends it to a user and run the attacker’s script in his browser.
