XSS Playbook for Teams
RCCE students will learn Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities including reflected, stored, and DOM-based XSS, context-specific payloads, and defense strategies. RCCE students will learn to identify XSS vulnerabilities across different injection contexts (HTML, JavaScript, URL, CSS), craft payloads for cookie theft, session hijacking, keylogging, and defacement, implement remediation using output encoding, Content Security Policy, input validation, and DOM sanitization, configure WAF rules for XSS detection, integrate XSS testing into development workflows, and understand the impact of XSS on single-page applications, frameworks, and modern web architectures. This team-oriented course builds collaborative workflows and organizational playbooks for security operations. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to create and implement standardized procedures that enable consistent performance across team members and shifts. Students develop the documentation, communication, and coordination skills needed for effective team-based security operations.
