| Description |

| Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications. XSS enables attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same-origin policy. As a web server, tc Server can be vulnerable to XSS if steps are not taken to mitigate the threat. VMware provides the XssFilter component to provide a layer of defense against XSS. Filters are Java objects that performs filtering tasks on either the request to a resource (a servlet or static content), or on the response from a resource, or both. |
