Graph showing the progress of the XSS worm that impacted 2525 users on Justin.tv. Justin.tv was a video casting website with an active user base of approximately 20 thousand users. The cross-site scripting vulnerability that was exploited was that the "Location" profile field was not properly sanitized before its inclusion in a profile page.
Additionally, while typically described as a static type of attack, CSRF can also be dynamically constructed as part of a payload for a cross-site scripting attack, as demonstrated by the Samy worm, or constructed on the fly from session information leaked via offsite content and sent to a target as a malicious URL.
An example of a DOM-based XSS vulnerability is the bug found in 2011 in a number of jQuery plugins. [16] Prevention strategies for DOM-based XSS attacks include very similar measures to traditional XSS prevention strategies but implemented in JavaScript code and contained in web pages (i.e. input validation and escaping).

RFC 3551, entitled RTP Profile for Audio and Video (RTP/AVP), specifies the technical parameters of payload formats for audio and video streams. The standard also describes the process of registering new payload types with IANA; additional payload formats and payload types are defined in the following specifications:
In computing and telecommunications, the payload is the part of transmitted data that is the actual intended message. Headers and metadata are sent only to enable payload delivery [1] [2] and are considered overhead. In the context of a computer virus or worm, the payload is the portion of the malware which performs malicious action.
Content Security Policy (CSP) is a computer security standard introduced to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking and other code injection attacks resulting from execution of malicious content in the trusted web page context. [1]
Self-XSS (self cross-site scripting) is a type of security vulnerability used to gain control of victims' web accounts. In a Self-XSS attack, the victim of the attack runs malicious code in their own web browser, thus exposing personal information to the attacker.
An Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) is a digital representation of a real-world geographical area for the purpose of Marine navigation.Real-world objects and areas of navigational significance, or to a lesser degree - informational significance, are portrayed through Raster facsimiles of traditional paper charts; or more commonly through vector images, which are able to scale their relative ...
