Hey folks! Let’s chat about something really important for all of us who use the internet, which is pretty much everyone, right? So, there’s this type of sneaky computer attack called XSS, which stands for “cross-site scripting.” It’s like when someone tries to slip a secret note into someone else’s conversation. But instead of a note, it’s harmful stuff that can mess with websites you visit.

Recently, some smart computer researchers found out about a big issue with this XSS attack that could affect loads of websites worldwide – we’re talking millions! This is a big deal because it means that lots of our favorite spaces on the internet could be at risk.

Imagine you’re signing into a website using your Google or Facebook account – that’s a handy thing called “OAuth” which lets you log in without creating a new username and password. But guess what? There’s a flaw in this system, and that’s how this XSS attack can sneak in.

Here’s why it matters: An XSS attack can do things like steal your personal information, pretend to be you, or mess up the page you’re trying to view. No good, right?
