Abstract
Protection methods against XSS attacks on the client side are key approaches to ensuring the security of web applications
that prevent the introduction and execution of malicious code in users’ browsers. The main methods include data validation
and filtering, using the Content Security Policy (CSP) protocol, encoding user input, as well as using mechanisms to detect
and prevent the execution of suspicious scripts. These measures are aimed at reducing the risks of both reflected and
persistent XSS attacks, providing a higher level of protection for confidential information. Special attention is paid to an
integrated approach that includes the interaction of server and client protection methods, which minimizes vulnerabilities
and increases the resistance of web applications to various types of attacks.
