Output Encoding: Sanitizing and Encoding Outputs to Prevent XSS and Other Injection Attacks
Abstract: Cross - site scripting (XSS) and other injection attacks pose significant security threats to web applications, often resulting in data breaches, unauthorized access, and compromised systems. This paper discusses the critical role of output encoding and sanitizing in mitigating these risks. We explore various encoding techniques, compare their effectiveness, and present best practices for implementing robust defenses against injection attacks. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, this paper aims to provide practical insights for developers and security professionals to enhance web application security.
