CVE-2022-2925 Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in GitHub repository appwrite/appwrite prior to 1.0.0-RC1.
Stored in GitHub repository appwrite/appwrite prior to 1.0.0-RC1. Cross-site scripting occurs when user input is taken in a different context than it is intended. For example, you might be logged into your bank website and notice that it is pretty crappy. You might start thinking about how the app could be improved. You might then consider injecting malicious code into the app. It is not hard to imagine how this could lead to a lot of trouble. One of the most serious issues of XSS is that it can be difficult to detect. The vast majority of XSScanners are written to work against invalid data. This means that any application that uses valid data can be used to accomplish XSS. Another serious issue of XSS is that it can be difficult to prevent. The vast majority of XSSPreventions are written to work against invalid data. This means that any application that uses valid data can be used to accomplish XSS.

Detecting XSS
XSS is a difficult to detect and thus difficult to prevent. There are a few ways of detecting XSS, but they can be expensive in terms of performance. One way is using a content inspection tool that monitors the DOM for suspicious JavaScript. Another way is using an XSScanners with a wide enough set of features that it can be used to detect XSS on both invalid and valid input.
How to create a XSS scanner
XSS scanners are websites or web-based tools that scan for XSS. This can be done by simply looking at the HTML source of a website, which is not always practical. A better way to perform this task is to use an automated scanner. There are several different types of automated scanners available.
