Question: Can you explain the ways to prevent an XSS attack?

 

Ans. Yes, we can prevent XSS attacks through three ways –

 

(i) Escaping – It is the process of stripping out unwanted data to secure the output.
(ii) Validating Input – This step ensures that the application is interpreting correct data while preventing any malicious data from entering.
(iii) Sanitizing – This process involves cleaning or filtering your input data. It also changes unacceptable user input to an acceptable format.
