________ attacks exploit vulnerabilities in dynamically generated web pages, allowing malicious attackers to inject client-side script into web pages viewed by other users.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks specifically target vulnerabilities in dynamically generated web pages by allowing attackers to inject malicious client-side scripts. This can occur when user input is not properly validated or sanitized, leading to execution of unauthorized scripts within the user's browser. When other users visit the affected web page, their browsers execute the injected script, which can compromise their data or session, steal cookies, or redirect them to malicious sites.

The focus of XSS is on the manipulation of web pages served to users, thereby impacting the client-side experience and allowing attackers to target unknowing users. This makes it distinctly different from denial-of-service attacks, which aim to disrupt service availability, SQL injection attacks that target database vulnerabilities, and man-in-the-middle attacks that intercept communications. By understanding how XSS operates, incident handlers can develop appropriate defenses and remediation strategies against such vulnerabilities in web applications.
