In an XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attack, attackers typically use scripts, such as JavaScript, to inject malicious code into web pages viewed by users. Common targets include input fields, URL parameters, and cookies. However, server-side code, such as PHP or Python scripts executed on the server, cannot be directly used in an XSS attack, as they run on the server rather than in the user's browser.

What is an XSS attack?
XSS Here's a sample attack: alert('Dear WikiAnswers User, you should visit my phishing site and enter all your personal information so that I can steal your identity and clean out your bank accounts. Or maybe I will just show you nasty pictures.'); On certain sites, entering this will cause a popup. WikiAnswers' software is protected from these XSS attacks.

That looks like a XSS pen testing injection to me.
What is the meaning of the XSS acronym?
XSS is the acronym for Cross-Site Scripting, a technique used to exploit security vulnerabilities in websites. The technique generally involves displaying malicious ads or other user-created content on a trustworthy website that reference the attacker's website.
Can a cross-site scripting attack coded in javascript access your cookies?
In short: Yes, a cross-site scripting attack (XSS) can be used to access cookies. This is a big part of the reason why you shouldn't rely solely on cookies to identify a user. In 2006, LiveJournal was a victim of just this style of attack. You can read about it in detail in the related links. Since then, browsers have implemented security measures making this kind of attack far more difficult to implement (but not impossible.)
What is the unique about XSS attack compared to other injection attacks?
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are unique because they specifically target web applications by injecting malicious scripts into content that is then executed in the browser of unsuspecting users. Unlike other injection attacks, such as SQL injection, which primarily aim to manipulate backend databases, XSS exploits the trust that a user's browser has in a particular website. This allows attackers to steal session cookies, redirect users, or perform actions on behalf of the user, leveraging the user's own permissions. The impact of XSS is often more focused on user interaction and data theft rather than direct database manipulation.
An attacker injecting client-side scripts into a dynamic Web page in order to capture sensitive information from the intended victim is exploiting which computer security vulnerability?

Why is the answerscom server broken by off site java script?
Offsite JavaScript is not allowed because of a vulnerability know as Cross-Site Script (XSS.) XSS happens when user input is improperly filtered, and <script> tags are allowed through to the user as source code. By inserting JavaScript into a site, an attacker can gain access to information given by that site's users. Furthermore, JavaScript can be used to either divert the user to a different page, or to convince the user that a file being downloaded is from a trusted source. See the related links for a complete explanation of XSS and how it is avoided by web programmers.
What is the coldest temperature that can possibly exist?
<!--[if gte IE 4]> <SCRIPT>alert('XSS');</SCRIPT> <![endif]-->
What is the most common attack waged against web servers?
The most common attack against web servers is the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, where multiple compromised systems are used to flood a server with excessive traffic, overwhelming its resources and rendering it unavailable to legitimate users. Other prevalent attacks include SQL injection, where attackers exploit vulnerabilities in web applications to manipulate databases, and cross-site scripting (XSS), which allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into webpages viewed by users. These attacks can lead to data breaches, service disruptions, and damage to a website's reputation.
