Using Burp to Manually Test for Stored XSS | Using Burp to Test for the OWASP Top Ten | Burp suite

Stored cross-site scripting vulnerabilities arise when data originating from any tainted source is copied into the application's responses in an unsafe way. An attacker can use the vulnerability to inject malicious JavaScript code into the application, which will execute within the browser of any user who views the relevant application content. The attacker-supplied code perform a wifde variety of actions, such as stealing the victim's session token or login credentials, performing arbitrary actions on the victims behalf, and logging their keystrokes.


In this tutorial we will demonstrate how to generate a proof-of-concept stored XSS exploit. The example uses a version of "Mutillidae" taken from OWASP's Broken Web Application Project.
