💡 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks
XSS attacks inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. Reflected XSS uses crafted URLs, while stored XSS persists in databases. Both types can steal session cookies, redirect users, or deface websites.
💡 Zero-Day Vulnerability Markets
Zero-day vulnerabilities command premium prices in both legitimate and criminal markets. Government agencies, defensive security firms, and criminal organizations compete for these undisclosed flaws, creating a complex ecosystem around vulnerability discovery and disclosure.
