Rest in Peace, Cross-Site Scripting
Since almost 25 years, Cross-site scripting (XSS) is one of the most common risks for web application. Yet today, there are many ways to protect a web application from the attack: browser features, HTTP headers, and special APIs. This talk first discusses why XSS is dangerous at all and then covers countermeasures: Content Security Policy, Trusted Types API, and protection in SPA frameworks. After this talk, there's (almost) no excuse to get XSS.
