Cross-Site Script Inclusion (XSSI) is a security vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit the way browsers handle script inclusions, potentially leading to unauthorized data access.
XSSI leverages the browser's ability to include scripts from different origins without enforcing the Same-Origin Policy (SOP). Attackers can exploit this behavior to access sensitive data by tricking the browser into executing malicious scripts.
XSSI vulnerabilities in Laravel can lead to unauthorized data access, session hijacking, and data manipulation.
To prevent XSSI in Laravel, key steps include setting correct Content-Type headers, avoiding including sensitive data in scripts, implementing Content Security Policy (CSP), validating and sanitizing user inputs, and conducting regular security assessments.
