Featuring Server-side Web Scripting: The server-side web scripting feature lets users create dynamic web pages using scripting languages like PHP, Python, and Ruby. Virtual hosting: Web servers can also be used
A dynamic website relies on server-side scripting languages like PHP, Python, or Ruby to generate content on the fly, pulling information from databases or external application programming interfaces (APIs). An example of a dynamic website is an ecommerce website where product prices and ...
If you change the script's run context toServer, it can now also run inReplicatedStorage, but that's not recommended. The contents of that location are replicated to clients, so it's a poor location for server-side scripts. If you change the script's run context toClient, it can run...
or client-side scripting. This allows cyber criminals to attack major websites, such as social networking sites, email providers, and any site that enables user input or reviews. Attackers can use the virus to send spam, commit fraudulent activity, and damage server files...
A DOM-based XSS attack is often a client-side attack and the malicious payload is never sent to the server. This makes it even more difficult to detect for Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and security engineers who analyze server logs because they will never even see the attack. DOM object...

Ransomware—possibly the most dangerous consequence of RCE is that attackers can deploy ransomware on the affected application or server, and spread ransomware through the network, denying users access to their files until they pay a ransom.

acting as a messenger by carrying information from a user to the server. It can be visible, such as in a URL’s query string, or hidden, like form field values or cookies. Attackers manipulate these parameters to deceive the server into performing actions outside of the intended workflow, ...
Scalability: Web apps can be easily scaled to accommodate increasing numbers of users. Since they are server-based, enhancing the server capacity or optimizing the application's code can support more simultaneous users without requiring any changes on the client side. Reduced storage space on user ...
DOM-based XSS occurs entirely client-side, making it harder to detect with traditional server-side security measures. Hybrid forms also exist, combining elements of multiple types. The table below provides a detailed breakdown of each XSS type's properties and examples. ...
