Numerous techniques are available to emphasize very serious vulnerability in the advanced web applications. Along with the multiplicity of protection vulnerabilities, Cross site scripting attack is the most probable vulnerability found in the present web applications on SNS condition which to be a infection for the cutting edge web applications.
