Attackers who exploit cross-site scripting vulnerabilities take advantage of:
A. a lack of proper input validation controls.
B. weak authentication controls in the web application layer.
C. flawed cryptographic secure sockets layer (SSL) implementations and short key lengths.
D. implicit web application trust relationships.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Cross-site scripting attacks inject malformed input. Attackers who exploit weak application authentication controls can gain unauthorized access to applications and this has little to do with cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Attackers who exploit flawed cryptographic secure sockets layer (SSI.) implementations and short key lengths can sniff network traffic and crack keys to gain unauthorized access to information. This has little to do with cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Web application trust relationships do not relate directly to the attack.
