Fundamentals XSS occurs when attacker-controlled input is rendered in a victim’s browser as executable code (JavaScript, or markup that leads to JavaScript execution). The victim’s browser runs the injected code with the origin’s privileges — same-origin access to cookies, DOM, API tokens, and session state. ...

I’ve been writing Python applications for over a decade, and I’ve seen every possible way to screw up security. The good news? Most Python security issues fall into predictable patterns that you can defend against systematically. This guide covers the three vulnerabilities that keep showing up in my security reviews: SSRF, SQL injection, and XSS. Master these defenses, and you’ll stop 80% of the attacks before they start. 📊 OWASP 2025 Context: These vulnerabilities map directly to the OWASP Top 10 2025 - SSRF is now part of A01 Broken Access Control, injection dropped to A05 (thanks to better frameworks), while misconfigurations jumped to #2. Understanding the current threat landscape helps you prioritize your security efforts. ...

Content Security Policy (CSP) is a browser security mechanism that controls which resources a web page is allowed to load. By declaring a policy via HTTP header, you tell the browser exactly which scripts, styles, images, fonts, and connections are permitted. Anything not explicitly allowed is blocked. CSP is one of the most effective defenses against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. How CSP Works CSP is delivered as an HTTP response header: ...
