These attacks can be counteracted by implementing a Cross-Origin Resource Policy (CORP) header, which allows a website owner to block cross-origin or cross-site resources, like images, videos, and stylesheets. CORP can also block JavaScript-initiated fetch requests, but only if they are sent with the no-cors [17] request mode. [18]
As the JavaScript code was also processing user input and rendering it in the web page content, a new sub-class of reflected XSS attacks started to appear that was called DOM-based cross-site scripting. In a DOM-based XSS attack, the malicious data does not touch the web server.
These are typically built into browsers, in their DevTools window. Debuggers allow you to step debug (go through your JavaScript code line-by-line, hover over variables to see their values, etc.) Firefox - use Tools → JavaScript Console which shows all JavaScript and CSS errors. Chrome and Edge - use Tools → Developer Tools.
XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is an API in the form of a JavaScript object whose methods transmit HTTP requests from a web browser to a web server. [1] The methods allow a browser-based application to send requests to the server after page loading is complete, and receive information back. [ 2 ]
