An XSS Worm, also known as a cross site scripting virus, is a malicious (or sometimes non-malicious) payload that propagates among visitors of a website in the attempt to progressively infect other visitors. They were first mentioned in relation to a cross site scripting vulnerability in hotmail. XSS Worms exploit a vulnerability known as cross site scripting (or XSS for short) within a website, normally infecting users whereas other users can be infected in a variety of ways depending on the vulnerability. Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities are commonly exploited in the form of worms on popular social or commercial websites, such as MySpace, Yahoo!, Orkut, Justin.tv, and Twitter. These worms can be used for malicious intent, giving an attacker the basis to steal personal information, cookies, and other relevant data regarding the website or the infected visitor.
