The Anatomy of Cross Site Scripting

Gavin Zuchlinski published a paper entitled "The Anatomy of Cross Site Scripting". The paper explorers the impact of cross site scripting attacks and goes beyond the normal drivel of the actual insertion mechanisms. If you want to learn more about XSS attacks, you might find this paper interesting.
