XSSbase is a professional tool designed to help web developers scan for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. It automates the process of testing web applications for XSS vulnerabilities by using a set of predefined payloads or custom payloads provided by the user.
Here are a few sample XSS payloads that XSSbase can use:
<script>alert('XSS')</script><img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')><svg onload=alert('XSS')>"><script>alert('XSS')</script><body onload=alert('XSS')>For a comprehensive collection of XSS payloads, refer to the payloadbox XSS payload list.

Currently, XSSbase is only compatible with Windows. To install, use the following command:
pip install xssbase
To test a URL for XSS vulnerabilities using the predefined payloads:
xssbase --url <URL>
To test a URL for XSS vulnerabilities using custom payloads from a file:
xssbase --url <URL> --payload <payload-file.txt>
To test http://example.com for XSS vulnerabilities using predefined payloads:
xssbase --url http://example.com
To test http://example.com for XSS vulnerabilities using payloads from custom-payloads.txt:
xssbase --url http://example.com --payload custom-payloads.txt
--url: The URL to test for XSS vulnerabilities (required).
--payload: The file containing custom XSS payloads (optional).
