Description:

It prevents cross site scripting (xss) attacts across the browser.

what is a cross site scripting attack (xss)?

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a code injection attack that allows an attacker to execute malicious JavaScript in another user's browser

Types of XSS attack?

  -  Persistent XSS
     where the malicious string originates from the website's database.
  
  -  Reflected XSS
     where the malicious string originates from the victim's request.
  
  -  DOM-based XSS
     where the vulnerability is in the client-side code rather than the server-side code.

Prevention Method:

- @param: unSafeHtmlString
  escape(param) {};

- @param: unSafeHtmlString
  strictEscape(param) {};

- @param: safeHtmlString
  reverseEscape(param) {};

- @param: safeHtmlString
  unescape(param) {};

- @param: unSafeHtmlString
  removeUnsafe(param) {};

- safeUrl() {};

- unSafeUrl() {};

- @param: path name (eg. /home, /web, /mywork)
  unSafeUrl(param) {};
