XSS
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a security exploit in which the attacker inserts malicious coding into a link that appears to be from a trustworthy source. When someone clicks on the link, the embedded programming is submitted as part of the client's Web request and can execute on the user's computer, typically allowing the attacker to steal information.
Web forms that dynamically return an error message including user input data make it possible for attackers to alter the HTML that controls the behavior of the form and/or the page. Attackers do this in a number of ways, for example by inserting coding into a link in a forum message or in a spam message. The attacker may use e-mail spoofing to pretend to be a trusted source.
Like other Web-based exploits, such as SQL injection, much of the blame for cross-site scripting is placed on the insecure applications that make it possible. Web server applications that generate pages dynamically are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting exploit if they fail to validate user input and to ensure that pages generated are properly encoded.

About BDPA-DC
NBDPA's Washington, D.C. Chapter was founded in 1978 by Norman Mays. It was incorporated in 1981 as a domestic not-for-profit corporation in the District of Columbia. In February of 1988, Black Data Processing Associates of Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area (BDPA-DC) became an IRS Section 501(c)(3) Public Charity. Today, BDPA-DC provides professional development services for its members and stakeholders in direct support of local and regional STEM (Science. Technology. Engineering. Math) initiatives. Towards this end, BDPA-DC partners with BDPA Baltimore, BDPA Northern Virginia, and BDPA Richmond to support members and stakeholders within the National Capital Region (NCR) and the Baltimore-Richmond Corridor. BDPA-DC also serves NBDPA, BDPA Chapters and Chapter Interest Groups (CIGs) as a federal news bureau, government relations liaison, and bdpatoday newsletter clearinghouse for emerging NBDPA Chapters.
