Understanding XSS Protection

XSS Protection is a security feature designed to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks on web applications. It works by enforcing security controls to detect and block malicious scripts that attackers inject into web pages viewed by other users. XSS Protection helps safeguard against unauthorized execution of scripts on web browsers, protecting sensitive information and preventing exploits that can lead to data theft or unauthorized actions on websites.
