Executable XSS cheat sheets for popular web frameworks
Blog post from Semgrep
The OWASP Cheat Sheet Series is a highly regarded project offering detailed information on various security issues, serving as both a reference and educational tool. This series includes cheat sheets developed to identify potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in code, providing recommendations that guide developers toward safer coding practices. By adhering to these guidelines, developers can significantly reduce the risk of XSS in their applications. Each cheat sheet offers an executable command to scan code for XSS issues, focusing initially on popular web frameworks such as Django, Flask, Java/JSP, and Ruby on Rails. The series encourages contributions to community resources like the semgrep-rules repository, and further cheat sheets are anticipated to follow.
